📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 53% of 3.0Y high
53% of all-time peak
Only 17 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 32 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 53% 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 — 35% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
9 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-35% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 62% buying
8 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds were net buyers (4 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (4 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

🔒

■ 88% conviction (2yr+)
■ 6% medium
■ 6% new
15 out of 17 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 2 → 5 → 0 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 5 → 0 → 4. 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.
🏛️

■ 94% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 6% new
Of 17 current holders: 16 (94%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
