Based on 7 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter

🔻
Below peak — only 58% of 3.0Y high
58% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold FEBZ today versus a peak of 12 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 58% 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 — 12% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold FEBZ compared to a year ago (-12% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
2 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds reduced or exited vs 2 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.
➡️

💰
Value +155% but shares only +129% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +155%, but actual share count only changed +129%. 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 0 → 2 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 2 → 0 → 1. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 71% veterans vs 14% newcomers
■ 71% veterans
■ 14% 1-2yr
■ 14% new
Entry-cohort mix of 7 holders: 5 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 1 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (14%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
