Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their KORE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (96% of max)
96% of all-time peak
22 hedge funds hold KORE right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q

🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
9 buying7 selling

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+21% value, -59% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional KORE holdings rose +21% even though funds reduced share count by 59%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
