Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 1 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 183 funds at 2018 Q3 — just 1% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 99% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
168 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 1% buying
1 buying141 selling
Last quarter: 141 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-30 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 32 → 22 → 31 → 1. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
31 → 32 → 22 → 31 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 22 → 31 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
