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.
🔻
Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high
67% of all-time peak

Value +162% but shares only +82% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +162%, but actual share count only changed +82%. 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.

86% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 115 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 86% 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.
