📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 39% of 3.0Y high
39% of all-time peak
Only 15 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 38 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 39% 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 — 53% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
17 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-53% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 47% buying
8 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds reduced or exited vs 8 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 3 → 2 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
80% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 80% conviction (2yr+)
■ 13% medium
■ 7% new
12 out of 15 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -0%, value -98%
Last quarter: funds added -0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -98%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
7 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 3 → 2 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 80% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 80% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 13% new
Of 15 current holders: 12 (80%) 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 — 47% from top-100 AUM funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 15 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
