Now that we’ve mentioned the most bullish investors, let’s also take a look at some funds that cut their entire stakes in the stock during the third quarter. Intriguingly, Sander Gerber’s Hudson Bay Capital Management cut the biggest investment of the 700 funds monitored by Insider Monkey, totaling about $1.6 million in stock, and Matthew Halbower’s Pentwater Capital Management was right behind this move, as the fund cut about $1.3 million worth of shares.

Let’s go over hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as Ferro Corporation (NYSE:FOE) but similarly valued. We will take a look at Summit Hotel Properties Inc (NYSE:INN), TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTMI), Gentherm Inc (NASDAQ:THRM), and Tree.com Inc (NASDAQ:TREE). All of these stocks’ market caps are closest to FOE’s market cap.
