Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their RPM positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (96% of max)
96% of all-time peak
753 hedge funds hold RPM right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding RPM is almost the same as a year ago (-15 funds, -2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
307 buying410 selling
Last quarter: 410 funds reduced or exited vs 307 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-51 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 72 → 91 → 125 → 74. 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.

37% from top-100 AUM funds
