📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SLVM 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 — 81% of 3.0Y peak
81% of all-time peak
314 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 387 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 16% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
61 fewer hedge funds hold SLVM compared to a year ago (-16% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
117 buying179 selling
Last quarter: 179 funds reduced or exited vs 117 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-35 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 55 → 43 → 71 → 36. 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -1%, value -18%

34% from top-100 AUM funds
46 of 313 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 34% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
