📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AMSC 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 — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
243 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 272 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+50 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 58% buying
155 buying112 selling
Last quarter: 155 funds bought or added vs 112 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 (+13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new AMSC position: 66 → 73 → 40 → 53. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 26% new
114 out of 243 hedge funds have held AMSC 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 (+14% value, -2% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional AMSC holdings rose +14% even though funds reduced share count by 2%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
39 → 66 → 73 → 40 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 66 → 73 → 40 → 53. AMSC is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 54% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 54% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 29% new
Of 256 current holders: 139 (54%) 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 — 39% AUM from major funds
39% from top-100 AUM funds
46 of 243 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.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
