62% of all-time peak
Only 10 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 16 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 62% 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 — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago
