📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GURE 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 55% of 3.0Y high
55% of all-time peak
Only 6 funds hold GURE 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 GURE compared to a year ago (-33% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 18% buying
2 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds sold vs only 2 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 4 → 2 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (-78% value, -97% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional GURE holdings rose -78% even though funds reduced share count by 97%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
1 → 1 → 4 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 4 → 2 → 2. GURE is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
