Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ICU 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 2.0Y high
58% of all-time peak
Only 15 funds hold ICU today versus a peak of 26 funds at 2025 Q3 — 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.
📉
Outflows — 38% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

🔴

Price up while funds trimmed (+156% value, -84% shares)

66% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 15 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 66% of total institutional value in ICU. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
