74% of all-time peak
394 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 3.0-year high of 530 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

59 → 61 → 71 → 50 → 53 new funds/Q

Entry-cohort mix of 417 holders: 308 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 42 entered 1–2 years ago, and 67 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
