📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

High ownership — 78% of 3.0Y peak
78% of all-time peak
7 funds currently hold this stock — 78% of the 3.0-year high of 9 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 22% fewer funds vs a year ago

🔴

■ 71% medium

Only 1 funds (14%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (-12% value, -72% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional YI holdings rose -12% even though funds reduced share count by 72%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
