📈
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.
📊
High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak
85% of all-time peak
170 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 199 funds (reached 2023 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +27% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+36 new funds entered over the past year (+27% 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 — 62% buying
109 buying67 selling
Last quarter: 109 funds were net buyers (38 opened a brand new position + 71 added to an existing one). Only 67 were sellers (44 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

■ 66% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 15% new
112 out of 170 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 +8%, value -15%
Last quarter: funds added +8% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -15%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

🏛️
Deep conviction — 80% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 80% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 11% new
Of 184 current holders: 148 (80%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 16% top-100 AUM
16% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 28 of 170 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
