📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PDCO positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold PDCO today versus a peak of 302 funds at 2024 Q2 — 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
263 fewer hedge funds hold PDCO compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 11% buying
1 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 69 → 49 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
36 → 69 → 49 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 69 → 49 → 0 → 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.
Exit risk score 2.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
