📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CRBU 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 — 81% of 3.0Y peak
81% of all-time peak
118 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 145 funds (reached 2024 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
10 fewer hedge funds hold CRBU compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
50 buying54 selling
Last quarter: 54 funds reduced or exited vs 50 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CRBU position: 20 → 33 → 15 → 21. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 31% medium
■ 22% new
56 out of 118 hedge funds have held CRBU 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -0%, value -32%
Last quarter: funds added -0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -32%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
25 → 20 → 33 → 15 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 33 → 15 → 21. CRBU 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 — 55% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 55% veterans
■ 14% 1-2yr
■ 31% new
Of 123 current holders: 68 (55%) 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 — 30% AUM from major funds
30% from top-100 AUM funds
25 of 118 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 30% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
