📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added OMCL 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 momentum flip.
📊
High ownership — 88% of 3.0Y peak
88% of all-time peak
247 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 282 funds (reached 2023 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
12 fewer hedge funds hold OMCL compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
125 buying131 selling
Last quarter: 131 funds reduced or exited vs 125 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new OMCL position: 35 → 24 → 33 → 46. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
73% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 73% conviction (2yr+)
■ 13% medium
■ 14% new
181 out of 247 hedge funds have held OMCL for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +54% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +54%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
47 → 35 → 24 → 33 → 46 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 24 → 33 → 46. A growing number of institutions are discovering OMCL each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 78% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 78% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 15% new
Of 251 current holders: 195 (78%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
39 of 247 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in OMCL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
