📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ASMB 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
71 hedge funds hold ASMB 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 — +97% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+35 new funds entered over the past year (+97% 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 — 60% buying
43 buying29 selling
Last quarter: 43 funds were net buyers (14 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 29 were sellers (17 trimmed + 12 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 31 → 21 → 14. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 59% entered in last year
■ 15% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 59% new
Only 11 funds (15%) 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 -1%, value -20%
Last quarter: funds added -1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -20%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~14 new funds/quarter
5 → 6 → 31 → 21 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 31 → 21 → 14. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 61% of holders entered in last year
■ 6% veterans
■ 34% 1-2yr
■ 61% new
Of 71 current holders: 43 (61%) entered in the past year, only 4 (6%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 12% AUM from top-100
12% from top-100 AUM funds
21 of 71 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 12% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.8/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
