📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AQLT 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 — 94% of 1.8Y peak
94% of all-time peak
15 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 1.8-year high of 16 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +36% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+36% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
9 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds bought or added vs 7 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 7 → 3 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 47% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 53% medium
■ 47% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
💰
Value +29% but shares only +13% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +29%, but actual share count only changed +13%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter
3 → 2 → 7 → 3 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 7 → 3 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
