Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AMZD 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
16 hedge funds hold AMZD 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 — +60% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+60% 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 — 64% buying
14 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 6 added to an existing one). Only 8 were sellers (3 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~8 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 5 → 8 → 8. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 38% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 50% medium
■ 38% new
Only 2 funds (12%) 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 +55%, value +26%
Last quarter: funds added +55% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +26%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
6 → 3 → 5 → 8 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 5 → 8 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
