Below peak — only 52% of 3.0Y high
52% of all-time peak
Only 105 funds hold SH today versus a peak of 202 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 52% 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 — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago
