📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 64% of 3.0Y high
64% of all-time peak
Only 30 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 47 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 64% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — the institutional base is holding steady.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
13 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds bought or added vs 11 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.

🔒
50% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 50% conviction (2yr+)
■ 43% medium
■ 7% new
15 out of 30 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +6%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added +6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
8 → 4 → 8 → 2 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 8 → 2 → 5. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 60% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 60% veterans
■ 17% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Of 30 current holders: 18 (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 — 20% from major AUM funds
20% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 30 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
