📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
15 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
📶
Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

🟠

5 buying7 selling
