🔻
Below peak — only 56% of 3.0Y high
56% of all-time peak
Only 23 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 41 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 56% 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 — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 44% buying
7 buying9 selling

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +5%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added +5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
