🔻 Below peak — only 11% of 3.0Y high
Only 8 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 73 funds at 2017 Q2 — just 11% 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 — 20% fewer funds vs a year ago
2 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴 Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
Last quarter: 10 funds sold vs only 6 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️ Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 8 → 4 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒 50% of holders stayed for 2+ years
4 out of 8 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.
