📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PI 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 — 88% of 3.0Y peak
88% of all-time peak
287 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 327 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
171 buying171 selling
Last quarter: 171 funds bought or added vs 171 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 64 → 77 → 63 → 47. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
51% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 51% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium
■ 20% new
147 out of 287 hedge funds have held PI 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -0%, value -41%
Last quarter: funds added -0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -41%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
46 → 64 → 77 → 63 → 47 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 64 → 77 → 63 → 47. PI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 59% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Of 302 current holders: 179 (59%) 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 — 49% AUM from top-100 funds
49% from top-100 AUM funds
54 of 287 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in PI. 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 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
