📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AMPY 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 — 81% of 3.0Y peak
81% of all-time peak
110 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 136 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
20 fewer hedge funds hold AMPY compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
60 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 60 funds bought or added vs 49 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.

Peak discovery — momentum slowing
17 → 31 → 30 → 22 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 31 → 30 → 22 → 26. AMPY is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

■ 60% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Of 118 current holders: 71 (60%) 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.

Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
