2% of all-time peak
Only 1 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 62 funds at 2006 Q2 — just 2% 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.
📉

⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

➡️
Steady discovery — ~1 new funds/quarter
9 → 7 → 7 → 15 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 7 → 15 → 1. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
