Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ULTY 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 34% of 2.8Y high
34% of all-time peak
Only 35 funds hold ULTY today versus a peak of 102 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 34% 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
9 fewer hedge funds hold ULTY compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
18 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds reduced or exited vs 18 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.
➡️

■ 11% conviction (2yr+)
■ 57% medium
■ 31% new
Only 4 funds (11%) 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
30 → 70 → 13 → 6 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 70 → 13 → 6 → 9. 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.
