📉
Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 56% of 3.0Y high
56% of all-time peak
Only 9 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 16 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 56% 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 — 44% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-44% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 25% buying
2 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds sold vs only 2 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

■ 56% medium
■ 11% new

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -62%, value -77%
Last quarter: funds added -62% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -77%. 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
6 → 5 → 2 → 3 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 2 → 3 → 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.
