📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added PRLD 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.
📊
High ownership — 70% of 3.0Y peak
70% of all-time peak
48 funds currently hold this stock — 70% of the 3.0-year high of 69 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 21% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
13 fewer hedge funds hold PRLD compared to a year ago (-21% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
24 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds bought or added vs 22 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PRLD position: 5 → 7 → 4 → 10. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 58% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 17% new
28 out of 48 hedge funds have held PRLD 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.
💰
Value +113% but shares only +5% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +113%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~10 new funds/quarter
8 → 5 → 7 → 4 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 7 → 4 → 10. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 49 current holders: 33 (67%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 9% AUM from top-100
9% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 48 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 9% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
