Because Solaredge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:SEDG) has sustained declining sentiment from the entirety of the hedge funds we track, it’s safe to say that there was a specific group of money managers who were dropping their entire stakes by the end of the third quarter.

William Charters and Mario Marcon’s fund, Sabal Capital Management, also cut its stock, about $4.3 million worth.
