Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CEG 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
1,889 hedge funds hold CEG 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 — +32% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+459 new funds entered over the past year (+32% 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 — 62% buying
1144 buying695 selling
Last quarter: 1,144 funds were net buyers (322 opened a brand new position + 822 added to an existing one). Only 695 were sellers (553 trimmed + 142 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
