📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GRA positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 3% of 3.0Y high
3% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold GRA today versus a peak of 219 funds at 2019 Q1 — just 3% 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 — 96% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
175 fewer hedge funds hold GRA compared to a year ago (-96% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 1% buying
2 buying204 selling
Last quarter: 204 funds sold vs only 2 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-53 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 49 → 40 → 54 → 1. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
30 → 49 → 40 → 54 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 49 → 40 → 54 → 1. GRA is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
