📉 Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻 Below peak — only 65% of 3.0Y high
Only 94 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 145 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 65% 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 — 32% fewer funds vs a year ago
44 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-32% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴 Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying
Last quarter: 62 funds sold vs only 40 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 20 → 30 → 27 → 18. 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.
🔒 62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
58 out of 94 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
