📈
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 61% of 3.0Y high
61% of all-time peak
Only 31 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 51 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 61% 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.
📶
Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+15% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
10 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds bought or added vs 9 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +20%, value -50%
Last quarter: funds added +20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -50%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
3 → 6 → 7 → 5 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 7 → 5 → 4. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
