Based on 7 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
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 39% of 1.8Y high
39% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 18 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 39% 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 — 61% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
11 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-61% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
3 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds bought or added vs 3 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 3 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 14% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 86% medium
■ 14% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Value +166% but shares only +18% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +166%, but actual share count only changed +18%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
10 → 6 → 3 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 3 → 1 → 1. 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.

Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
