🔻
Below peak — only 48% of 3.0Y high
48% of all-time peak
Only 32 funds hold GSC today versus a peak of 66 funds at 2021 Q4 — just 48% 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.
📶
Steady growth — +14% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
13 buying16 selling
Last quarter: 16 funds reduced or exited vs 13 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 (-7 vs last Q)

Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 3 → 10 → 3. 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.
