📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added DAWN 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
176 hedge funds hold DAWN 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 — +12% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

🟡

113 buying77 selling
