📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their LIVE 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 — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
16 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 18 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+23% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks. The peak was reached in just 2 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
6 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds sold vs only 6 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 5 → 2 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 19% new
10 out of 16 hedge funds have held LIVE 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 -26%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -26%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
0 → 3 → 5 → 2 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 5 → 2 → 3. LIVE is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 19% newcomers
■ 69% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 16 holders: 11 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 3 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 19% AUM from top-100
19% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 16 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 19% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
