Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 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
41 hedge funds hold EMEQ right now — the highest count in 1.8 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 — +583% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+35 new funds entered over the past year (+583% 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 — 86% buying
36 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 36 funds were net buyers (24 opened a brand new position + 12 added to an existing one). Only 6 were sellers (3 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new EMEQ position: 2 → 4 → 13 → 24. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 93% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 7% medium
■ 93% 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 +76% but shares only +58% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +76%, but actual share count only changed +58%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
5 → 2 → 4 → 13 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 4 → 13 → 24. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🌱
Early stage — 95% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 95% new
Of 41 current holders: 39 (95%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 48% AUM from top-100 funds
48% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 41 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in EMEQ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 7.3/10 — 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.
