📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SPSC 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 — 73% of 3.0Y peak
73% of all-time peak
325 funds currently hold this stock — 73% of the 3.0-year high of 445 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 26% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
112 fewer hedge funds hold SPSC compared to a year ago (-26% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
187 buying194 selling
Last quarter: 194 funds reduced or exited vs 187 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 56 → 49 → 65 → 58. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

■ 64% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 18% new
207 out of 325 hedge funds have held SPSC 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 -1%, value -40%
Last quarter: funds added -1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -40%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
66 → 56 → 49 → 65 → 58 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 56 → 49 → 65 → 58. A growing number of institutions are discovering SPSC each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 70% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Of 331 current holders: 231 (70%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 40% AUM from top-100 funds
40% from top-100 AUM funds
53 of 325 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 40% of total institutional value in SPSC. 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 2.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
