📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ROC 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 2 funds hold ROC today versus a peak of 198 funds at 2014 Q1 — just 1% 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 — 99% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
191 fewer hedge funds hold ROC compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 100% buying
1 buying0 selling
Last quarter: 1 funds were net buyers (1 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 0 were sellers (0 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 23 → 0 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💰
Value +555% but shares only +460% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +555%, but actual share count only changed +460%. 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
37 → 23 → 0 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 23 → 0 → 0 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
