📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CAPE 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
48 hedge funds hold CAPE 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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 sellers than buyers — 44% buying
17 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds reduced or exited vs 17 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CAPE position: 4 → 8 → 2 → 10. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
