📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 68% of 1.5Y high
68% of all-time peak
Only 17 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 25 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 68% 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 — 29% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-29% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 67% buying
4 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds were net buyers (2 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (1 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 3 → 0 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 12% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 88% medium
■ 12% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +9%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added +9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
2 → 1 → 3 → 0 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 3 → 0 → 2. 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.
