📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their HIMS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 92% of 3.0Y peak
92% of all-time peak
459 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 497 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+81 new funds entered over the past year (+21% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
272 buying294 selling
Last quarter: 294 funds reduced or exited vs 272 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 114 → 140 → 99 → 92. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌
Mixed — 29% long-term, 32% new
■ 29% conviction (2yr+)
■ 39% medium
■ 32% new
Of the 459 current holders: 135 (29%) held >2 years, 179 held 1–2 years, and 145 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -46%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -46%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
124 → 114 → 140 → 99 → 92 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 114 → 140 → 99 → 92. HIMS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 36% veterans, 49% new entrants
■ 36% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 49% new
Of 512 current holders: 186 (36%) held 2+ years, 77 held 1–2 years, 249 (49%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 48% AUM from top-100 funds
48% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 459 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in HIMS. 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 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
