📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
32 hedge funds hold this stock right now — the highest count in 2.8 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +1500% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+30 new funds entered over the past year (+1500% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
17 buying12 selling
Last quarter: 17 funds bought or added vs 12 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 21 → 7 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 94% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 3% medium
■ 94% new
Only 1 funds (3%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -16%, value -52%
Last quarter: funds added -16% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -52%. 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
0 → 0 → 21 → 7 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 21 → 7 → 9. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 94% of holders entered in last year
■ 6% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 94% new
Of 32 current holders: 30 (94%) entered in the past year, only 2 (6%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 60% AUM from top-100 funds
60% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 32 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 60% of total institutional value in this stock. When the biggest players hold the majority of a position, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 7.3/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
