📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their LEN 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
898 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 995 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 4% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
33 fewer hedge funds hold LEN compared to a year ago (-4% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
415 buying552 selling
Last quarter: 552 funds reduced or exited vs 415 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 (-16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 137 → 119 → 154 → 138. 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -5%, value -23%

■ 69% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 22% new

🏆
Elite ownership — 46% AUM from top-100 funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 898 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in LEN. 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 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
