📈
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.
📊
High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak
85% of all-time peak
133 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 156 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
20 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
55 buying83 selling
Last quarter: 83 funds reduced or exited vs 55 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 29 → 27 → 20 → 27. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 14% new
83 out of 133 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 -3%, value -47%
Last quarter: funds added -3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -47%. 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
18 → 29 → 27 → 20 → 27 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 29 → 27 → 20 → 27. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 74% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 74% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 16% new
Of 145 current holders: 107 (74%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 17% top-100 AUM
17% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 22 of 133 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
