📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GAP 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 — 92% of 3.0Y peak
92% of all-time peak
488 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 532 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
246 buying290 selling
Last quarter: 290 funds reduced or exited vs 246 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -2%, value -22%
Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -22%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
97 → 83 → 139 → 79 → 91 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 83 → 139 → 79 → 91. GAP is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

Veteran-anchored — 70% veterans vs 21% newcomers
■ 70% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 519 holders: 362 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 49 entered 1–2 years ago, and 108 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 70% AUM from top-100 funds
70% from top-100 AUM funds
61 of 481 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 70% of total institutional value in GAP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
