Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SWVLW positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 69% of 3.0Y high
69% of all-time peak
Only 18 funds hold SWVLW today versus a peak of 26 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 69% 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 — 14% fewer funds vs a year ago
