📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added WPRT than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🔻
Below peak — only 52% of 3.0Y high
52% of all-time peak
Only 43 funds hold WPRT today versus a peak of 82 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 52% 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 — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold WPRT compared to a year ago (-7% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

More buyers than sellers — 62% buying
18 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds were net buyers (10 opened a brand new position + 8 added to an existing one). Only 11 were sellers (8 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -35%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -35%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
