Based on 207 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their LPG 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
207 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 231 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
104 buying120 selling
Last quarter: 120 funds reduced or exited vs 104 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 (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 35 → 37 → 40 → 34. 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.
🔒

■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 15% new
125 out of 207 hedge funds have held LPG 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 +1%, value -17%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -17%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 37 → 40 → 34. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

■ 66% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 210 current holders: 139 (66%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 49% AUM from top-100 funds
49% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 207 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in LPG. 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 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
