➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 62% of 1.5Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 13 funds hold GNS today versus a peak of 21 funds at 2025 Q2 — 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 — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold GNS compared to a year ago (-19% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 64% buying
7 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds were net buyers (2 opened a brand new position + 5 added to an existing one). Only 4 were sellers (2 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 9 → 2 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 31% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 69% medium
■ 31% 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 +30%, value -22%
Last quarter: funds added +30% 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
11 → 5 → 9 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 9 → 2 → 2. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 62% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 38% 1-2yr
■ 62% new
Of 13 current holders: 8 (62%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 8% AUM from top-100
8% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 13 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 8% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 1.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
