54% of all-time peak
Only 13 funds hold EWUS today versus a peak of 24 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 54% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

Value +40% but shares only +21% — price-driven
