📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SIMA positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
40 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 44 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding SIMA is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying
7 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds sold vs only 7 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 12 → 4 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 20% entered in last year
■ 5% conviction (2yr+)
■ 75% medium
■ 20% new
Only 2 funds (5%) 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 -7%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -7% 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
19 → 5 → 12 → 4 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 12 → 4 → 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.
🌱
Early stage — 60% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 35% 1-2yr
■ 60% new
Of 40 current holders: 24 (60%) entered in the past year, only 2 (5%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 13% AUM from top-100
13% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 40 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 13% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
