Based on 3 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 5% of 3.0Y high
5% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold SAWS today versus a peak of 56 funds at 2001 Q2 — just 5% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying
1 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~0 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 1 → 0 → 0. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 0% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 100% medium
■ 0% 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 1 → 1 → 0 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 1 → 0 → 0. 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.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 0% veterans, 33% new entrants
■ 0% veterans
■ 67% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Of 3 current holders: 0 (0%) held 2+ years, 2 held 1–2 years, 1 (33%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 98% AUM from top-100 funds
98% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 3 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 98% of total institutional value in SAWS. 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 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
