📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their HAO 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 33% of 1.2Y high
33% of all-time peak
Only 2 funds hold HAO today versus a peak of 6 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 33% 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 — 67% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 5Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold HAO compared to a year ago (-67% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
2 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds reduced or exited vs 2 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.

Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 2 current holders: 2 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 2% AUM from top-100
2% from top-100 AUM funds
