Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row
For 8 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AFLG 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
107 hedge funds hold AFLG 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 — +62% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+41 new funds entered over the past year (+62% 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 buyers than sellers — 67% buying
79 buying39 selling
Last quarter: 79 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 62 added to an existing one). Only 39 were sellers (24 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

■ 6% conviction (2yr+)
■ 57% medium
■ 37% new
Only 6 funds (6%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~17 new funds/quarter
28 → 21 → 18 → 20 → 17 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 18 → 20 → 17. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 64% of holders entered in last year
■ 8% veterans
■ 27% 1-2yr
■ 64% new
Of 107 current holders: 69 (64%) entered in the past year, only 9 (8%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 107 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in AFLG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
