3% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 117 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 3% 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 — 97% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

■ 33% 1-2yr
■ 0% new
