📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their TCFC 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 2% of 3.0Y high
2% of all-time peak
Only 1 funds hold TCFC today versus a peak of 49 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 2% 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 — 97% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
37 fewer hedge funds hold TCFC compared to a year ago (-97% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 2% buying
1 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 6 → 13 → 1. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~1 new funds/quarter
4 → 6 → 6 → 13 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 6 → 13 → 1. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
