📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SPRO 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 3.0Y peak
88% of all-time peak
49 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 56 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
21 buying25 selling
Last quarter: 25 funds reduced or exited vs 21 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 (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 15 → 15 → 14 → 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.
🔒
45% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 45% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 31% new

📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
2 → 15 → 15 → 14 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 15 → 14 → 7. SPRO is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 63% veterans vs 28% newcomers
■ 63% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 54 holders: 34 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 9% AUM from top-100
9% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 49 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 9% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
