📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added DADA 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 — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
81 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 91 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+11 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 58% buying
50 buying36 selling
Last quarter: 50 funds bought or added vs 36 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 (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new DADA position: 12 → 13 → 18 → 26. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
💰
Value +8955% but shares only +81% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +8955%, but actual share count only changed +81%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
15 → 12 → 13 → 18 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 13 → 18 → 26. 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.
Exit risk score 2.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
