🔻
Below peak — only 64% of 2.5Y high
64% of all-time peak
Only 14 funds hold LOT today versus a peak of 22 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 64% 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +27% more funds vs a year ago
