At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
35 hedge funds hold GRAF/WS right now — the highest count in 2.5 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 29% buying
4 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds sold vs only 4 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

■ 80% medium

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+817% value, -7% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional GRAF/WS holdings rose +817% even though funds reduced share count by 7%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
2 → 6 → 3 → 4 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 3 → 4 → 2. GRAF/WS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
