📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CIB 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
185 hedge funds hold CIB 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 — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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 — 60% buying
110 buying73 selling
Last quarter: 110 funds were net buyers (42 opened a brand new position + 68 added to an existing one). Only 73 were sellers (52 trimmed + 21 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CIB position: 40 → 22 → 28 → 42. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
54% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 54% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 21% new
100 out of 185 hedge funds have held CIB 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 +23% but shares only +0% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +23%, but actual share count only changed +0%. 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
19 → 40 → 22 → 28 → 42 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 22 → 28 → 42. A growing number of institutions are discovering CIB each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 63% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 63% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 191 current holders: 120 (63%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
28 of 185 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
