💰
Value +23% but shares only +8% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +23%, but actual share count only changed +8%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
4 → 1 → 0 → 0 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 0 → 0 → 0. 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.
