📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SJB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 52% of 3.0Y high
52% of all-time peak
Only 21 funds hold SJB today versus a peak of 40 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 52% 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.
📉
Outflows — 16% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold SJB compared to a year ago (-16% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying
9 buying17 selling

⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)

Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 8 → 16 → 7. 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.
