📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DASTY positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 58% of 3.0Y high
58% of all-time peak
Only 11 funds hold DASTY today versus a peak of 19 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 58% 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 — 27% fewer funds vs a year ago
