📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
56 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +5500% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+55 new funds entered over the past year (+5500% 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 — 48% buying
30 buying33 selling
Last quarter: 33 funds reduced or exited vs 30 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 (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 39 → 9 → 23. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 89% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 9% medium
■ 89% new
Only 1 funds (2%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -11%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -11% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
0 → 0 → 39 → 9 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 39 → 9 → 23. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 91% of holders entered in last year
■ 9% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 91% new
Of 56 current holders: 51 (91%) entered in the past year, only 5 (9%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 17% AUM from top-100
17% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 56 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 17% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.3/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Selling pressure exceeds buying: only 48% of active funds buying. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
