📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added EE 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
216 hedge funds hold EE 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 — +24% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+42 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
121 buying93 selling
Last quarter: 121 funds bought or added vs 93 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 (+17 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new EE position: 42 → 30 → 42 → 59. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 35% long-term, 36% new
■ 35% conviction (2yr+)
■ 30% medium
■ 36% new
Of the 216 current holders: 75 (35%) held >2 years, 64 held 1–2 years, and 77 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+13% value, -3% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional EE holdings rose +13% 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
30 → 42 → 30 → 42 → 59 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 42 → 30 → 42 → 59. A growing number of institutions are discovering EE each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 42% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 42% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
Of 222 current holders: 94 (42%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 29% AUM from major funds
29% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 216 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 29% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
