➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 4% of 3.0Y high
4% of all-time peak
Only 1 funds hold LLL today versus a peak of 24 funds at 2017 Q1 — just 4% 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 — 83% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold LLL compared to a year ago (-83% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
1 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 1 funds bought or added vs 1 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 1 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +1594%, value +481%
Last quarter: funds added +1594% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +481%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 1 → 1 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 1 → 0 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
