📉
Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 63% of 3.0Y high
63% of all-time peak
Only 80 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 126 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 63% 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 — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
26 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-25% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
33 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds reduced or exited vs 33 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 — ~10 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter

🔒
71% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 71% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 10% new
57 out of 80 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +6%, value -15%
Last quarter: funds added +6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -15%. 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 → 14 → 22 → 8 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 22 → 8 → 10. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 81% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 81% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 12% new
Of 81 current holders: 66 (81%) 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% from major AUM funds
25% from top-100 AUM funds
20 of 80 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
