📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SR 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 (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
394 hedge funds hold SR 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.
📶
Steady growth — +18% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+60 new funds entered over the past year (+18% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
208 buying190 selling
Last quarter: 208 funds bought or added vs 190 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 54 → 66 → 70 → 57. 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.

■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 18% medium
■ 20% new

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +12%, value -11%
Last quarter: funds added +12% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -11%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

Veteran-anchored — 68% veterans vs 23% newcomers
■ 68% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 398 holders: 269 (68%) are 2+ year veterans, 38 entered 1–2 years ago, and 91 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 55% AUM from top-100 funds
55% from top-100 AUM funds
54 of 394 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 55% of total institutional value in SR. 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 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
