Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DLHC 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 40 funds hold DLHC today versus a peak of 69 funds at 2024 Q3 — 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 — 30% fewer funds vs a year ago
