📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AVMU 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 — 90% of 3.0Y peak
90% of all-time peak

📉

Value +3054% but shares only +141% — price-driven
