CROWD: RED Institutions are heading for the exits: 33 funds closed out last quarter (64 active holders down to 49), right after this name was crowded. Our data says this unwind phase skews badly. Not the dip it looks like.
Active holders?Institutions that actively chose this stock. Index funds and mega-diversified platforms (filers holding 1500+ names) are stripped out; they hold it automatically, not by decision.

of 187 total, index funds excluded

Streak?How many quarters in a row the active holder count has risen. Persistence, not a buy signal: long streaks are how names end up crowded.
