📊
High ownership — 71% of 3.0Y peak
71% of all-time peak
12 funds currently hold this stock — 71% of the 3.0-year high of 17 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-25% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 25% buying
2 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds sold vs only 2 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: 3 → 2 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 8% entered in last year
■ 8% conviction (2yr+)
■ 83% medium
■ 8% new
Only 1 funds (8%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -50%, value -67%
Last quarter: funds added -50% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -67%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 2 → 1 → 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.
📊

🏆
Elite ownership — 50% from top-100 AUM funds
