📈
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.
🔻
Below peak — only 53% of 3.0Y high
53% of all-time peak
Only 8 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 15 funds at 2022 Q4 — just 53% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +60% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+60% 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 — 88% buying
7 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds were net buyers (5 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (0 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 3 → 0 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 25% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 38% medium
■ 25% new
Of the 8 current holders: 3 (38%) held >2 years, 3 held 1–2 years, and 2 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Value +3900% but shares only +375% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +3900%, but actual share count only changed +375%. 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
2 → 3 → 3 → 0 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 3 → 0 → 5. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 50% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 50% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 50% new
Of 8 current holders: 4 (50%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 12% top-100 AUM
12% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 1 of 8 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 1.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
