📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their IAS 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 2% of 3.0Y high
2% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold IAS today versus a peak of 176 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 2% 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 — 98% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
151 fewer hedge funds hold IAS compared to a year ago (-98% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 1% buying
1 buying159 selling

⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-45 vs last Q)

Funds opening this position for the first time: 46 → 35 → 45 → 0. 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.
