📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CVU positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
39 hedge funds hold CVU right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +18% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+18% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
24 buying16 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (7 opened a brand new position + 17 added to an existing one). Only 16 were sellers (7 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 11 → 13 → 7. 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.
🔒
41% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 41% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 38% new
16 out of 39 hedge funds have held CVU for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +56% but shares only +17% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +56%, but actual share count only changed +17%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
4 → 4 → 11 → 13 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 11 → 13 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 53% veterans vs 36% newcomers
■ 53% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 45 holders: 24 (53%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 16 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 26% AUM from major funds
26% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 39 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 26% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
