📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CHDN 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
434 hedge funds hold CHDN 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.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding CHDN is almost the same as a year ago (+4 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
203 buying238 selling
Last quarter: 238 funds reduced or exited vs 203 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 (+36 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CHDN position: 56 → 69 → 56 → 92. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 61% conviction (2yr+)
■ 18% medium
■ 21% new
263 out of 434 hedge funds have held CHDN 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.
💰
Value +20% but shares only +3% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +20%, but actual share count only changed +3%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
48 → 56 → 69 → 56 → 92 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 56 → 69 → 56 → 92. A growing number of institutions are discovering CHDN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 64% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 64% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Of 440 current holders: 280 (64%) 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 — 46% AUM from top-100 funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 434 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in CHDN. 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 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
