📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their YSG positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 75% of 3.0Y peak
75% of all-time peak
49 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 65 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +36% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+13 new funds entered over the past year (+36% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 26% buying
14 buying39 selling
Last quarter: 39 funds sold vs only 14 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 18 → 27 → 14 → 6. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 22% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 45% medium
■ 22% new
Of the 49 current holders: 16 (33%) held >2 years, 22 held 1–2 years, and 11 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -6%, value -26%
Last quarter: funds added -6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -26%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
8 → 18 → 27 → 14 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 27 → 14 → 6. 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.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 6% veterans, 34% new entrants
■ 6% veterans
■ 60% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 50 current holders: 3 (6%) held 2+ years, 30 held 1–2 years, 17 (34%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds
44% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 48 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in YSG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
