📈
Buying streak — 9 quarters in a row
For 9 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CBNK 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
127 hedge funds hold CBNK 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.
📶
Steady growth — +17% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

💰
Value +22% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +22%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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
16 → 13 → 13 → 20 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 13 → 20 → 21. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 50% veterans vs 28% newcomers
■ 50% veterans
■ 22% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 127 holders: 63 (50%) are 2+ year veterans, 28 entered 1–2 years ago, and 36 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 47% AUM from top-100 funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 127 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in CBNK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
