📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CSIQ 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 — 74% of 3.0Y peak
74% of all-time peak
136 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 3.0-year high of 184 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +10% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+10% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 47% buying
75 buying83 selling
Last quarter: 83 funds reduced or exited vs 75 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 19 → 21 → 42 → 29. 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.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 18% new
84 out of 136 hedge funds have held CSIQ for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +10%, value -42%
Last quarter: funds added +10% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -42%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
12 → 19 → 21 → 42 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 19 → 21 → 42 → 29. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 73% veterans vs 15% newcomers
■ 73% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 15% new
Entry-cohort mix of 155 holders: 113 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 18 entered 1–2 years ago, and 24 (15%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 47% AUM from top-100 funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
29 of 128 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in CSIQ. 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 2.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
