AAPL
Apple's ownership structure tells an interesting story about how the smart money views this stock.
The institutional pressure score sitting at essentially zero (negative 0.00) indicates neither meaningful accumulation nor distribution pressure among tracked institutions right now. Similarly, the market regime score of negative 0.01 is about as neutral as it gets — no strong directional signal in either direction. The 22.1% sitting in "other unclassified" is a notable caveat here; nearly a quarter of institutional ownership can't be neatly categorized, which limits how much weight you can put on the behavioral breakdown. It's worth flagging that the 13F filings underpinning this ownership data are filed quarterly and can be 45 to 90 days old by the time they're analyzed — the positions you're looking at may no longer reflect current reality. Short interest data, where applicable, updates only biweekly. The current price showing as $0.00 also suggests a data feed issue worth flagging before drawing any valuation conclusions. None of this data predicts where Apple goes from here — it describes where things stood at a point in the past.

Apple's ownership structure tells an interesting story about how the smart money views this stock. Passive index funds account for 22.3% of tracked institutional ownership — not surprising given Apple's outsized weight in the S&P 500 and other major indices — meaning a significant chunk of buying and selling has nothing to do with anyone's opinion of the company itself. Quality compounder funds, the type that tend to hold concentrated positions in durable businesses for years, represent 10.7%, while deep value investors barely register at 0.2%. That absence of deep value interest makes sense given the 31.9 P/E, which isn't cheap by traditional valuation standards. Growth and momentum funds showing essentially 0.0% is mildly eyebrow-raising for a mega-cap tech name, possibly suggesting that crowd has rotated elsewhere.

Top institutional owners for AAPL as of the most recent 13F window (Dec 2025). Δ Q/Q reflects share-count change vs. the prior filing — positive green means adding, negative red means trimming. Cross-reference with the ownership-mix bars below to see which strategy cohort is driving the flow.
§ 06 · WHO OWNS IT · BY STRATEGY
Ownership mix by behavioral cohort. Top bars indicate which style of capital dominates the float — passive indexing, quality compounders, dealer/bank, systematic quant, etc. Big quality-compounder share means concentrated active conviction; heavy passive share means flows are dictated by index rebalances, not fundamentals.
