📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their TTD 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 66% of 3.0Y high
66% of all-time peak
Only 781 funds hold TTD today versus a peak of 1,179 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 66% 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 — 24% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
247 fewer hedge funds hold TTD compared to a year ago (-24% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
420 buying552 selling
Last quarter: 552 funds reduced or exited vs 420 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-61 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 177 → 148 → 175 → 114. 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.

■ 59% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 22% new
464 out of 781 hedge funds have held TTD for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +3%, value -39%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -39%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

■ 66% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 846 holders: 557 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 88 entered 1–2 years ago, and 201 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds
44% from top-100 AUM funds
63 of 772 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in TTD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
