🔻
Below peak — only 55% of 3.0Y high
55% of all-time peak
Only 6 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 11 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 55% 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 — 33% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-33% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴

Price up while funds trimmed (-78% value, -97% shares)
