📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AMCX 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.
📊
High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
176 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 193 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
13 fewer hedge funds hold AMCX compared to a year ago (-7% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
87 buying80 selling
Last quarter: 87 funds bought or added vs 80 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new AMCX position: 15 → 20 → 25 → 31. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

■ 69% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 10% new
121 out of 176 hedge funds have held AMCX for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+8% value, -28% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional AMCX holdings rose +8% even though funds reduced share count by 28%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
38 → 15 → 20 → 25 → 31 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 20 → 25 → 31. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 73% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 14% new
Of 181 current holders: 133 (73%) 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 — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 176 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in AMCX. 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 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
