📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DQ 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 — 72% of 3.0Y peak
72% of all-time peak
129 funds currently hold this stock — 72% of the 3.0-year high of 180 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
65 buying80 selling
Last quarter: 80 funds reduced or exited vs 65 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 (-11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 15 → 44 → 31 → 20. 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -9%, value -38%
Last quarter: funds added -9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -38%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

■ 71% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Entry-cohort mix of 145 holders: 103 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 26 (18%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 36% AUM from major funds
36% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 123 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 36% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
