🔻
Below peak — only 42% of 1.5Y high
42% of all-time peak
Only 5 funds hold DEVS today versus a peak of 12 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 42% 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 — 58% fewer funds vs a year ago
