At the ownership peak (98% of max)
98% of all-time peak
104 hedge funds hold GNOV right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +22% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+19 new funds entered over the past year (+22% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 34% buying
27 buying52 selling
Last quarter: 52 funds sold vs only 27 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 34 → 6 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

Of the 104 current holders: 28 (27%) held >2 years, 43 held 1–2 years, and 33 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
9 → 8 → 34 → 6 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 34 → 6 → 9. 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.
