Based on 8 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
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 44% of 2.8Y high
44% of all-time peak
Only 8 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 18 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 44% 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 — 56% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
10 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-56% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
4 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds bought or added vs 3 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.
➡️

■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 50% medium
■ 38% new
Only 1 funds (12%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -21%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -21%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

7 → 3 → 6 → 5 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 6 → 5 → 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.
