📉
Selling streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GRWG 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 63% of 3.0Y high
63% of all-time peak
Only 88 funds hold GRWG today versus a peak of 139 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 — 18% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
19 fewer hedge funds hold GRWG compared to a year ago (-18% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 47% buying
41 buying47 selling
Last quarter: 47 funds reduced or exited vs 41 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 — ~15 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter

■ 61% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 19% new
54 out of 88 hedge funds have held GRWG for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +2%, value -17%
Last quarter: funds added +2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -17%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
13 → 16 → 23 → 13 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 23 → 13 → 15. GRWG is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 71% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 71% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Of 93 current holders: 66 (71%) 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 — 28% AUM from major funds
28% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 88 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 28% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
