📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their FIP 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 — 93% of 3.0Y peak
93% of all-time peak
176 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 189 funds (reached 2026 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 4% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold FIP compared to a year ago (-4% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 51% buying
88 buying86 selling
Last quarter: 88 funds bought or added vs 86 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 34 → 24 → 30 → 24. 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.
🔒
49% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 49% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 18% new
86 out of 176 hedge funds have held FIP for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +28% but shares only +5% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +28%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~24 new funds/quarter
33 → 34 → 24 → 30 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 34 → 24 → 30 → 24. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 51% veterans vs 24% newcomers
■ 51% veterans
■ 26% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 182 holders: 92 (51%) are 2+ year veterans, 47 entered 1–2 years ago, and 43 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 31% AUM from major funds
31% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 175 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 31% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
