📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AESR 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 momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
20 hedge funds hold AESR 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +33% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+33% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
10 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 11 funds reduced or exited vs 10 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 — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 3 → 1 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +9%, value -10%
Last quarter: funds added +9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -10%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter
4 → 3 → 3 → 1 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 3 → 1 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
