92% of all-time peak
1,031 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 1,115 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago

55% from top-100 AUM funds
47 of 1031 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 55% of total institutional value in HPQ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
