📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DDD 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 — 76% of 3.0Y peak
76% of all-time peak
178 funds currently hold this stock — 76% of the 3.0-year high of 234 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
26 fewer hedge funds hold DDD compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
78 buying96 selling
Last quarter: 96 funds reduced or exited vs 78 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 (-8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 41 → 17 → 43 → 35. 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.

■ 69% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 12% new

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +3%, value -50%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -50%. 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
36 → 41 → 17 → 43 → 35 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 41 → 17 → 43 → 35. A growing number of institutions are discovering DDD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 76% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 76% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 15% new
Of 192 current holders: 145 (76%) 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 — 46% AUM from top-100 funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
28 of 178 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in DDD. 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.
