📉
Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CZR positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 73% of 3.0Y peak
73% of all-time peak
364 funds currently hold this stock — 73% of the 3.0-year high of 498 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 21% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
95 fewer hedge funds hold CZR compared to a year ago (-21% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 42% buying
199 buying273 selling
Last quarter: 273 funds reduced or exited vs 199 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 67 → 62 → 78 → 66. 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.

■ 68% conviction (2yr+)
■ 16% medium
■ 15% new
249 out of 364 hedge funds have held CZR 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +8%, value -18%
Last quarter: funds added +8% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -18%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
81 → 67 → 62 → 78 → 66 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 67 → 62 → 78 → 66. A growing number of institutions are discovering CZR each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 75% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 75% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 17% new
Of 399 current holders: 301 (75%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds
45% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 364 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in CZR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
