Below peak — only 50% of 3.0Y high
50% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold VWINX today versus a peak of 6 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 50% 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 — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
