Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their HOOW 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 58% of 0.8Y high
58% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold HOOW today versus a peak of 12 funds at 2025 Q4 — just 58% 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.

■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 14% medium
■ 86% 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.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 8 current holders: 8 (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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds
64% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 7 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in HOOW. 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 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
