No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
144 hedge funds hold CLIP 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 49% buying
74 buying78 selling
Last quarter: 78 funds reduced or exited vs 74 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 19 → 22 → 30 → 23. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 31% entered in last year
■ 15% conviction (2yr+)
■ 53% medium
■ 31% new
Only 22 funds (15%) 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
34 → 19 → 22 → 30 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 19 → 22 → 30 → 23. A growing number of institutions are discovering CLIP each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
