📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BOX 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
387 hedge funds hold BOX 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.

Elite ownership — 46% AUM from top-100 funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
44 of 387 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in BOX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
