50% of all-time peak
Only 19 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 38 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 50% 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 — 21% fewer funds vs a year ago
