📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 38% of 3.0Y high
38% of all-time peak
Only 6 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 16 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 38% 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
2 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.
🟢

4 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds were net buyers (2 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (2 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💰
Value +67% but shares only +51% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +67%, but actual share count only changed +51%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
