📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their UBT 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 11 funds hold UBT today versus a peak of 21 funds at 2024 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 — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold UBT compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
5 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds bought or added vs 5 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 4 → 2 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 27% long-term, 45% new
■ 27% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 45% new
Of the 11 current holders: 3 (27%) held >2 years, 3 held 1–2 years, and 5 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
5 → 5 → 4 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 4 → 2 → 2. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 55% of holders entered in last year
■ 27% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 55% new
Of 11 current holders: 6 (55%) entered in the past year, only 3 (27%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
✅
Strong quality — 24% AUM from major funds
24% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 11 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 24% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
