Based on 3 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 60% of 3.0Y high
60% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 5 funds at 2025 Q2 — just 60% 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 — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-25% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying
1 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 3 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 67% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 67% new
Of the 3 current holders: 1 (33%) held >2 years, 0 held 1–2 years, and 2 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
2 → 0 → 3 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 3 → 0 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 67% of holders entered in last year
■ 33% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 67% new
Of 3 current holders: 2 (67%) entered in the past year, only 1 (33%) 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 — 67% from top-100 AUM funds
67% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 3 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
