Based on 188 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CMCO 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.
📊
High ownership — 94% of 3.0Y peak
94% of all-time peak
188 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 201 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding CMCO is almost the same as a year ago (+2 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
104 buying90 selling
Last quarter: 104 funds bought or added vs 90 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CMCO position: 60 → 43 → 21 → 32. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 19% new
106 out of 188 hedge funds have held CMCO 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+19% value, -1% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional CMCO holdings rose +19% even though funds reduced share count by 1%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
28 → 60 → 43 → 21 → 32 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 60 → 43 → 21 → 32. CMCO is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 63% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 63% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Of 189 current holders: 119 (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 — 39% AUM from major funds
39% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 188 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 39% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
