Value +39% but shares only +14% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +39%, but actual share count only changed +14%. 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.

17% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 26 of 151 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
