Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CCB 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
200 hedge funds hold CCB 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
+38 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
101 buying89 selling
Last quarter: 101 funds bought or added vs 89 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~34 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 18 → 35 → 34. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
48% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 48% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 26% new
95 out of 200 hedge funds have held CCB for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
37 → 26 → 18 → 35 → 34 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 18 → 35 → 34. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 54% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 54% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 37% new
Of 202 current holders: 110 (54%) 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 — 42% AUM from top-100 funds
42% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 200 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 42% of total institutional value in CCB. 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.
