📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 38% of 3.0Y high
38% of all-time peak
Only 14 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 37 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 38% 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 — 62% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
23 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-62% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +14%, value -99%
