📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added EBKDY 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
12 hedge funds hold EBKDY 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 64% buying
7 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 4 were sellers (3 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 3 → 1 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+20% value, -3% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional EBKDY holdings rose +20% even though funds reduced share count by 3%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
0 → 3 → 3 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 3 → 1 → 3. EBKDY is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
