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 44% of 3.0Y high
44% of all-time peak
Only 4 funds hold SSDOY today versus a peak of 9 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 44% 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 — 20% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold SSDOY compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 67% buying
2 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds were net buyers (0 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (1 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

75% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 75% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 0% new
3 out of 4 hedge funds have held SSDOY 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.
💰
Value +82% but shares only +29% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +82%, but actual share count only changed +29%. 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
1 → 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 75% veterans vs 25% newcomers
■ 75% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 4 holders: 3 (75%) are 2+ year veterans, 0 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds
41% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 4 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in SSDOY. 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 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
