Based on 14 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 64% of 2.5Y high
64% of all-time peak
Only 14 funds hold SOWG today versus a peak of 22 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 64% 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 — 18% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold SOWG compared to a year ago (-18% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
5 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds reduced or exited vs 5 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 — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 2 → 3 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 43% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 57% medium
■ 43% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 -26%, value -66%
Last quarter: funds added -26% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -66%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~2 new funds/quarter
7 → 0 → 2 → 3 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 2 → 3 → 2. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 57% of holders entered in last year
■ 7% veterans
■ 36% 1-2yr
■ 57% new
Of 14 current holders: 8 (57%) entered in the past year, only 1 (7%) 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
3 of 14 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 2.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
