📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added PDCE 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold PDCE today versus a peak of 340 funds at 2022 Q4 — just 1% 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 — 99% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
314 fewer hedge funds hold PDCE compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
3 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (0 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 81 → 1 → 2 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
35 → 81 → 1 → 2 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 81 → 1 → 2 → 3. 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.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
