📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SER 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.

At the ownership peak (96% of max)
96% of all-time peak
24 hedge funds hold SER right now — the highest count in 2.2 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.
📉
Outflows — 4% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold SER compared to a year ago (-4% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢

15 buying7 selling
