🔻
Below peak — only 62% of 3.0Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 13 funds hold IMBBY today versus a peak of 21 funds at 2025 Q4 — just 62% 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 — 28% fewer funds vs a year ago
