📉
Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their TTE 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 3% of 3.0Y high
3% of all-time peak
Only 23 funds hold TTE today versus a peak of 804 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 3% 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
781 fewer hedge funds hold TTE 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 35% buying
11 buying20 selling
Last quarter: 20 funds sold vs only 11 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 84 → 90 → 6 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

■ 65% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 17% new
15 out of 23 hedge funds have held TTE 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (-13% value, -30% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional TTE holdings rose -13% even though funds reduced share count by 30%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
110 → 84 → 90 → 6 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 84 → 90 → 6 → 6. 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.

Veteran-anchored — 79% veterans vs 12% newcomers
■ 79% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 12% new
Entry-cohort mix of 24 holders: 19 (79%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 3 (12%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
