🔻
Below peak — only 58% of 3.0Y high
58% of all-time peak
Only 15 funds hold SIMS today versus a peak of 26 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 58% 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago
