📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PCM positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
29 hedge funds hold PCM right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +32% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+32% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
14 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds bought or added vs 13 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 — ~4 new funds per quarter

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +10%, value -6%
Last quarter: funds added +10% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -6%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
