📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added TARK 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 momentum flip.
🔻
Below peak — only 58% of 3.0Y high
58% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold TARK today versus a peak of 12 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 58% 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 — 42% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold TARK compared to a year ago (-42% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 86% buying
6 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds were net buyers (5 opened a brand new position + 1 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (1 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💰
Value +428% but shares only +288% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +428%, but actual share count only changed +288%. 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.
