📈
Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AMPX 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
199 hedge funds hold AMPX 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 — +114% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+106 new funds entered over the past year (+114% 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 — 61% buying
131 buying85 selling
Last quarter: 131 funds were net buyers (47 opened a brand new position + 84 added to an existing one). Only 85 were sellers (55 trimmed + 30 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-36 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 28 → 39 → 83 → 47. 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.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 58% entered in last year
■ 19% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 58% new
Only 38 funds (19%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +9%, value -18%
Last quarter: funds added +9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -18%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
35 → 28 → 39 → 83 → 47 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 28 → 39 → 83 → 47. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 64% of holders entered in last year
■ 27% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 64% new
Of 210 current holders: 134 (64%) entered in the past year, only 56 (27%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 39% AUM from major funds
39% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 199 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 39% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
