📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PLTD 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 — 88% of 1.8Y peak
88% of all-time peak
15 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 1.8-year high of 17 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +67% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+67% 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 — 45% buying
10 buying12 selling
Last quarter: 12 funds reduced or exited vs 10 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 5 → 9 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 60% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 40% medium
■ 60% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter
6 → 7 → 5 → 9 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 5 → 9 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 88% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 88% new
Of 17 current holders: 15 (88%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds
45% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 15 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in PLTD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
