📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their INTU positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 90% of 3.0Y peak
90% of all-time peak
2,005 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 2,236 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
1054 buying1270 selling
Last quarter: 1,270 funds reduced or exited vs 1,054 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-27 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 326 → 220 → 260 → 233. 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.
🔒

■ 68% conviction (2yr+)
■ 16% medium
■ 16% new
1,355 out of 2,005 hedge funds have held INTU for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -40%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -40%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~233 new funds/quarter
191 → 326 → 220 → 260 → 233 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 326 → 220 → 260 → 233. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 70% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Of 2,086 current holders: 1,461 (70%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 47% AUM from top-100 funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
70 of 2005 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in INTU. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
