📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 53% of 3.0Y high
53% of all-time peak
Only 16 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 30 funds at 2025 Q2 — just 53% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 27% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-27% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 47% buying
9 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds reduced or exited vs 9 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 11 → 3 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 12% new
10 out of 16 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +92%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added +92% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
7 → 5 → 11 → 3 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 11 → 3 → 6. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 62% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 62% veterans
■ 25% 1-2yr
■ 12% new
Of 16 current holders: 10 (62%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 44% from top-100 AUM funds
44% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 16 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 1.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
