Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their K positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold K today versus a peak of 911 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 1% 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 — 99% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
902 fewer hedge funds hold K compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Saturation — most institutions already know this story
109 → 93 → 83 → 5 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 93 → 83 → 5 → 5. 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.
