📶
Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago

🟠

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+68% value, -9% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional WALD holdings rose +68% even though funds reduced share count by 9%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
