📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CANE 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
21 hedge funds hold CANE 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 — +133% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+133% 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. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 76% buying
16 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 16 funds were net buyers (10 opened a brand new position + 6 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (3 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CANE position: 0 → 6 → 2 → 10. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 52% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 10% medium
■ 52% new
Of the 21 current holders: 8 (38%) held >2 years, 2 held 1–2 years, and 11 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.
💰
Value +855% but shares only +791% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +855%, but actual share count only changed +791%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~10 new funds/quarter
3 → 0 → 6 → 2 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 6 → 2 → 10. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 46% veterans
■ 4% 1-2yr
■ 50% new
Of 24 current holders: 11 (46%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds
61% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 21 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in CANE. 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 5.8/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
