Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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
125 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.
📶
Steady growth — +14% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+14% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

■ 65% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 14% new
81 out of 125 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +69% but shares only +13% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +69%, but actual share count only changed +13%. 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.
📈

New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 18 → 16 → 20. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.

■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 21% new

📋
Smaller funds dominant — 9% top-100 AUM
9% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 11 of 125 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
