Price up while funds trimmed (+47% value, -3% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional KTCC holdings rose +47% even though funds reduced share count by 3%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
2 → 3 → 4 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 4 → 2 → 2. 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.

■ 77% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 15% new
Entry-cohort mix of 26 holders: 20 (77%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 4 (15%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Elite ownership — 58% AUM from top-100 funds
58% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 25 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 58% of total institutional value in KTCC. 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 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
