Based on 4 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 44% of 3.0Y high
44% of all-time peak
Only 4 funds hold XELAP today versus a peak of 9 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 44% 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 — 33% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold XELAP compared to a year ago (-33% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢

■ 75% medium
■ 0% new

💰
Value +403% but shares only +63% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +403%, but actual share count only changed +63%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 1 → 0 → 0 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 0 → 0 → 0. 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.
