📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SES 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 (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
133 hedge funds hold SES 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 — +24% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+26 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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 — 50% buying
77 buying78 selling
Last quarter: 77 funds bought or added vs 78 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~39 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 46 → 38 → 39. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 35% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 35% new
Of the 133 current holders: 44 (33%) held >2 years, 43 held 1–2 years, and 46 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.
💰
Value +34% but shares only +16% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +34%, but actual share count only changed +16%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
36 → 21 → 46 → 38 → 39 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 46 → 38 → 39. A growing number of institutions are discovering SES each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 46% veterans vs 36% newcomers
■ 46% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 137 holders: 63 (46%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 50 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds
61% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 130 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in SES. 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 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
