Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

💰
Value +24% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +24%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.

52% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 193 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in CIM. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
