📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their QLTI 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 — 86% of 3.0Y peak
86% of all-time peak
18 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 21 funds (reached 2026 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +80% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+8 new funds entered over the past year (+80% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
11 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 11 funds bought or added vs 9 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 8 → 6 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 44% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 44% new
Only 4 funds (22%) 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
5 → 4 → 8 → 6 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 8 → 6 → 2. QLTI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊

■ 22% 1-2yr

Of 18 current holders: 5 (28%) held 2+ years, 4 held 1–2 years, 9 (50%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
