🔻
Below peak — only 55% of 3.0Y high
55% of all-time peak
Only 11 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 20 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 55% 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 — 21% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-21% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢

3 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds were net buyers (1 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (1 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -20%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added -20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
3 → 1 → 2 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 2 → 1 → 1. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.

■ 73% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 27% new
Of 11 current holders: 8 (73%) 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.
✅

3 of 11 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
