Based on 8 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · 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 67% of 1.5Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 8 funds hold UBRL today versus a peak of 12 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 67% 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 — 20% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold UBRL compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
6 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds bought or added vs 5 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 — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 4 → 1 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 38% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 50% medium
■ 38% new
Only 1 funds (12%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
5 → 3 → 4 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 4 → 1 → 3. 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.

50% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 7 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in UBRL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
