📈
Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PNR 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.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
729 hedge funds hold PNR 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.
📶

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
344 buying353 selling
Last quarter: 353 funds reduced or exited vs 344 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
