📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their TTWO positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
1,044 hedge funds hold TTWO right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +18% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+156 new funds entered over the past year (+18% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
573 buying533 selling
Last quarter: 573 funds bought or added vs 533 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-25 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 177 → 135 → 181 → 156. 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -9%, value -31%
Last quarter: funds added -9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -31%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 25% newcomers
■ 65% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,100 holders: 715 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 105 entered 1–2 years ago, and 280 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 42% AUM from top-100 funds
42% from top-100 AUM funds
64 of 1036 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 42% of total institutional value in TTWO. 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 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
