Based on 301 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added EQX 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
301 hedge funds hold EQX 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 — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+100 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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 — 58% buying
186 buying133 selling
Last quarter: 186 funds bought or added vs 133 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 (+39 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new EQX position: 49 → 59 → 50 → 89. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 37% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 37% new
Of the 301 current holders: 115 (38%) held >2 years, 76 held 1–2 years, and 110 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
45 → 49 → 59 → 50 → 89 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 49 → 59 → 50 → 89. A growing number of institutions are discovering EQX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 52% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 52% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
Of 329 current holders: 170 (52%) 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 — 27% AUM from major funds
27% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 301 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 27% 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 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
