📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
45 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
📶
Steady growth — +10% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

🟡

25 buying20 selling

■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium

28 out of 45 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +44% but shares only +5% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +44%, but actual share count only changed +5%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
9 → 3 → 6 → 8 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 6 → 8 → 10. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.

■ 73% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 45 current holders: 33 (73%) 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.
✅

24% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 45 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
