Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their JFIN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.

High ownership — 80% of 3.0Y peak
80% of all-time peak
33 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 41 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

■ 36% new
Of the 33 current holders: 11 (33%) held >2 years, 10 held 1–2 years, and 12 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -36%, value -55%
Last quarter: funds added -36% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -55%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
13 → 9 → 14 → 8 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 14 → 8 → 8. JFIN is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 46% veterans vs 43% newcomers
■ 46% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 43% new
Entry-cohort mix of 35 holders: 16 (46%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (43%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 46% AUM from top-100 funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 33 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in JFIN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
