No change last quarter

🔻
Below peak — only 60% of 2.2Y high
60% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold QXQ today versus a peak of 5 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 60% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 40% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold QXQ compared to a year ago (-40% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying

💰
Value +327% but shares only +6% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +327%, but actual share count only changed +6%. 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.
