📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SRE than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
1,122 hedge funds hold SRE 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.

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding SRE is almost the same as a year ago (+15 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

566 buying463 selling

Elite ownership — 67% AUM from top-100 funds
67% from top-100 AUM funds
46 of 1122 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 67% of total institutional value in SRE. 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 3.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
