📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 67% of 1.8Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 22 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 33 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 67% 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
11 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-33% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
