📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ALGS 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 — 87% of 3.0Y peak
87% of all-time peak
34 funds currently hold this stock — 87% of the 3.0-year high of 39 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold ALGS compared to a year ago (-6% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying
12 buying19 selling
Last quarter: 19 funds sold vs only 12 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 4 → 12 → 5. 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.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 32% entered in last year
■ 6% conviction (2yr+)
■ 62% medium
■ 32% new
Only 2 funds (6%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -0%, value -20%
Last quarter: funds added -0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -20%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter
12 → 9 → 4 → 12 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 4 → 12 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
