📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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 23% of 3.0Y high
23% of all-time peak
Only 36 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 159 funds at 2021 Q1 — just 23% 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.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — the institutional base is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
10 buying12 selling
Last quarter: 12 funds reduced or exited vs 10 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 4 → 3 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 14% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 64% medium
■ 14% new
Only 8 funds (22%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -4%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
11 → 6 → 4 → 3 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 4 → 3 → 2. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 44% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 44% veterans
■ 28% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Of 36 current holders: 16 (44%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 19% top-100 AUM
19% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 7 of 36 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
