📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added GNS than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
📊
High ownership — 71% of 1.8Y peak
71% of all-time peak
15 funds currently hold this stock — 71% of the 1.8-year high of 21 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 12% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold GNS compared to a year ago (-12% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
6 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds reduced or exited vs 6 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 2 → 2 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 27% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 73% medium
■ 27% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +24%, value -30%
Last quarter: funds added +24% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -30%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
5 → 9 → 2 → 2 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 2 → 2 → 4. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 0% veterans, 33% new entrants

■ 67% 1-2yr

Of 15 current holders: 0 (0%) held 2+ years, 10 held 1–2 years, 5 (33%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100
14% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 15 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 2.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
