📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SOCL 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 — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
50 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 56 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +22% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+22% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
22 buying24 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds reduced or exited vs 22 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 9 → 5 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
78% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 78% conviction (2yr+)
■ 10% medium
■ 12% new
39 out of 50 hedge funds have held SOCL for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -40%, value -81%
Last quarter: funds added -40% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -81%. 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
6 → 10 → 9 → 5 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 9 → 5 → 5. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 82% veterans vs 14% newcomers
■ 82% veterans
■ 4% 1-2yr
■ 14% new
Entry-cohort mix of 50 holders: 41 (82%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 7 (14%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 76% AUM from top-100 funds
76% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 50 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 76% of total institutional value in SOCL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
