Based on 36 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
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 57% of 3.0Y high
57% of all-time peak
Only 36 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 63 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 57% 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
fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-14% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 58% buying
18 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds bought or added vs 13 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 12 → 6 → 3 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 28% medium
■ 17% new
20 out of 36 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +16%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added +16% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
11 → 12 → 6 → 3 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 6 → 3 → 7. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 59% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Of 37 current holders: 22 (59%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 25% from major AUM funds
25% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 36 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
