➡️
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 3.0Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 58 funds hold GTE today versus a peak of 94 funds at 2023 Q1 — 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 — 22% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
16 fewer hedge funds hold GTE compared to a year ago (-22% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
31 buying25 selling
Last quarter: 31 funds bought or added vs 25 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️

■ 72% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 5% new
42 out of 58 hedge funds have held GTE 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 +17%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added +17% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. 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
18 → 11 → 13 → 5 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 13 → 5 → 9. 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
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 9% new
Of 58 current holders: 47 (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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 50% AUM from top-100 funds
50% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 58 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in GTE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 1.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
