📈 Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, 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.
🏔️ At the ownership peak (100% of max)
257 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀 Fast accumulation — +32% more funds vs a year ago
+62 new funds entered over the past year (+32% 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 — 60% buying
Last quarter: 157 funds were net buyers (51 opened a brand new position + 106 added to an existing one). Only 106 were sellers (73 trimmed + 33 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-13 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 28 → 40 → 64 → 51. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒 54% of holders stayed for 2+ years
139 out of 257 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.
