➡️
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 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 1 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 118 funds at 2012 Q1 — just 1% 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 — 99% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
109 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡
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: 3 → 0 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (-29% value, -53% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional MMR holdings rose -29% even though funds reduced share count by 53%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
34 → 3 → 0 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 0 → 1 → 1. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
