As you can see these stocks had an average of 17.75 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $182 million. That figure was $10 million in IFS's case. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK ) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand, First Financial Bankshares Inc (NASDAQ: FFIN ) is the least popular one with only 16 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks Intercorp Financial Services Inc. (NYSE:IFS) is even less popular than FFIN. Hedge funds dodged a bullet by taking a bearish stance towards IFS. Our calculations showed that the top 20 most popular hedge fund stocks returned 37.4% in 2019 through the end of November and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 9.9 percentage points. Unfortunately, IFS wasn't nearly as popular as these 20 stocks (hedge fund sentiment was very bearish); IFS investors were disappointed as the stock returned -2.3% during the fourth quarter (through the end of November) and underperformed the market.
