📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ATYR 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 (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
112 hedge funds hold ATYR 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 — +29% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+29% 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 — 61% buying
66 buying42 selling
Last quarter: 66 funds were net buyers (38 opened a brand new position + 28 added to an existing one). Only 42 were sellers (31 trimmed + 11 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+20 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ATYR position: 52 → 43 → 18 → 38. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 29% long-term, 45% new
■ 29% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 45% new
Of the 112 current holders: 32 (29%) held >2 years, 30 held 1–2 years, and 50 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +4%, value -22%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -22%. 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
26 → 52 → 43 → 18 → 38 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 52 → 43 → 18 → 38. ATYR is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 59% of holders entered in last year
■ 37% veterans
■ 4% 1-2yr
■ 59% new
Of 119 current holders: 70 (59%) entered in the past year, only 44 (37%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds
53% from top-100 AUM funds
36 of 110 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in ATYR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
