📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their OVB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 80% of 3.0Y peak
80% of all-time peak
12 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 15 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +9% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+9% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
6 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds bought or added vs 6 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 6 → 2 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
42% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 42% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 42% new
5 out of 12 hedge funds have held OVB 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
6 → 2 → 6 → 2 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 6 → 2 → 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.
🌱
Early stage — 58% of holders entered in last year
■ 42% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 58% new
Of 12 current holders: 7 (58%) entered in the past year, only 5 (42%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 12 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 0% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
