📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 51% of 3.0Y high
51% of all-time peak
Only 23 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 45 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 51% 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 — 47% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
20 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-47% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢

13 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 5 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (3 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💰
Value +369% but shares only +94% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +369%, but actual share count only changed +94%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
