Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row
For 8 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.

🚀
Fast accumulation — +60% more funds vs a year ago
