📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CWAN 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
376 hedge funds hold CWAN 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.
📶
Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+51 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
257 buying172 selling
Last quarter: 257 funds were net buyers (133 opened a brand new position + 124 added to an existing one). Only 172 were sellers (105 trimmed + 67 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+88 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CWAN position: 73 → 80 → 45 → 133. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

■ 28% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 40% new
Of the 376 current holders: 106 (28%) held >2 years, 120 held 1–2 years, and 150 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.
💰
Value +53% but shares only +15% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +53%, but actual share count only changed +15%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
97 → 73 → 80 → 45 → 133 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 73 → 80 → 45 → 133. A growing number of institutions are discovering CWAN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
