Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

74% of all-time peak

📉

Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 1 → 9 → 2. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
