📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PCF positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (96% of max)
96% of all-time peak
55 hedge funds hold PCF right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+11 new funds entered over the past year (+25% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
29 buying26 selling
Last quarter: 29 funds bought or added vs 26 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 5 → 14 → 8. 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.
🔒
42% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 42% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 25% new
23 out of 55 hedge funds have held PCF for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +11%, value -98%
Last quarter: funds added +11% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -98%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
9 → 8 → 5 → 14 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 5 → 14 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 49% veterans vs 33% newcomers
■ 49% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 55 holders: 27 (49%) are 2+ year veterans, 10 entered 1–2 years ago, and 18 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 54% AUM from top-100 funds
54% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 55 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in PCF. 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 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
