📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ADMA positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
337 hedge funds hold ADMA right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +11% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+33 new funds entered over the past year (+11% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
201 buying177 selling
Last quarter: 201 funds bought or added vs 177 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~60 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 65 → 77 → 59 → 60. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 28% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 34% medium
■ 28% new
Of the 337 current holders: 127 (38%) held >2 years, 114 held 1–2 years, and 96 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -71%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -71%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
68 → 65 → 77 → 59 → 60 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 65 → 77 → 59 → 60. ADMA is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 42% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 42% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 39% new
Of 350 current holders: 148 (42%) 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 — 45% AUM from top-100 funds
45% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 337 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in ADMA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
