Bear Case

Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. recently reduced its holdings by 44%, which may signal concerns about the company's short-term performance.
The stock has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7.73, which could indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings potential.

Only 1.27% of the stock is owned by institutional investors, which may indicate a lack of confidence from larger investment firms.
