📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GCI 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 — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
177 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 194 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
17 fewer hedge funds hold GCI compared to a year ago (-9% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
86 buying102 selling
Last quarter: 102 funds reduced or exited vs 86 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.

💰
Value +38% but shares only +11% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +38%, but actual share count only changed +11%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
36 → 21 → 25 → 33 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 25 → 33 → 29. A growing number of institutions are discovering GCI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

■ 69% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 185 current holders: 127 (69%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 25% AUM from major funds
25% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 177 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 25% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
