Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

🔻
Below peak — only 34% of 3.0Y high
34% of all-time peak
Only 40 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 118 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 34% 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.
