📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PALL 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 — 90% of 3.0Y peak
90% of all-time peak
122 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 136 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +65% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+48 new funds entered over the past year (+65% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
58 buying76 selling
Last quarter: 76 funds reduced or exited vs 58 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-30 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 31 → 25 → 51 → 21. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌
Mixed — 37% long-term, 32% new
■ 37% conviction (2yr+)
■ 31% medium
■ 32% new
Of the 122 current holders: 45 (37%) held >2 years, 38 held 1–2 years, and 39 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
18 → 31 → 25 → 51 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 31 → 25 → 51 → 21. A growing number of institutions are discovering PALL each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 47% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 47% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 41% new
Of 133 current holders: 63 (47%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 69% AUM from top-100 funds
69% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 122 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 69% of total institutional value in PALL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
