Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BURU 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
29 hedge funds hold BURU 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 — +262% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+262% 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 — 81% buying
26 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 26 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 6 added to an existing one). Only 6 were sellers (1 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+15 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BURU position: 6 → 3 → 5 → 20. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 76% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 76% new
Only 1 funds (3%) 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.
💰
Value +451% but shares only +416% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +451%, but actual share count only changed +416%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
3 → 6 → 3 → 5 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 3 → 5 → 20. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🌱
Early stage — 79% of holders entered in last year
■ 3% veterans
■ 17% 1-2yr
■ 79% new
Of 29 current holders: 23 (79%) entered in the past year, only 1 (3%) 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 — 93% AUM from top-100 funds
93% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 29 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 93% of total institutional value in BURU. 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 6.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
