📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added EMEQ 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
19 hedge funds hold EMEQ right now — the highest count in 1.5 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 — +1800% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+18 new funds entered over the past year (+1800% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 84% buying
16 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 16 funds were net buyers (12 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (2 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new EMEQ position: 5 → 2 → 4 → 12. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 84% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 16% medium
■ 84% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Value +240% but shares only +202% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +240%, but actual share count only changed +202%. 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
0 → 5 → 2 → 4 → 12 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 2 → 4 → 12. A growing number of institutions are discovering EMEQ each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 89% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 89% new
Of 19 current holders: 17 (89%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
✅
Strong quality — 21% AUM from major funds
21% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 19 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 21% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 7.1/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
