Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 10 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 15 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 67% 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.

60% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 30% medium
■ 10% new
6 out of 10 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -8%, value -25%
Last quarter: funds added -8% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -25%. 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
1 → 2 → 1 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 60% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 60% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 30% new
Of 10 current holders: 6 (60%) 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 — 40% from top-100 AUM funds
40% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 10 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 1.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
