📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CORN 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
57 hedge funds hold CORN 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 — +148% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+34 new funds entered over the past year (+148% 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. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 83% buying
49 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds were net buyers (38 opened a brand new position + 11 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (5 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+33 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CORN position: 2 → 9 → 5 → 38. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 30% long-term, 63% new
■ 30% conviction (2yr+)
■ 7% medium
■ 63% new
Of the 57 current holders: 17 (30%) held >2 years, 4 held 1–2 years, and 36 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +1537%, value +1440%
Last quarter: funds added +1537% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +1440%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
5 → 2 → 9 → 5 → 38 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 9 → 5 → 38. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 46% veterans vs 52% newcomers
■ 46% veterans
■ 1% 1-2yr
■ 52% new
Entry-cohort mix of 69 holders: 32 (46%) are 2+ year veterans, 1 entered 1–2 years ago, and 36 (52%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 56% AUM from top-100 funds
56% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 53 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 56% of total institutional value in CORN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
