Below peak — only 6% of 2.8Y high
6% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold DSAQ today versus a peak of 54 funds at 2022 Q2 — just 6% 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 — 88% fewer funds vs a year ago
