📉

Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row

79% of all-time peak
110 funds currently hold this stock — 79% of the 3.0-year high of 140 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 17% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
22 fewer hedge funds hold KRO compared to a year ago (-17% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 42% buying

■ 76% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 16% new

2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
