📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their EVSB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 85% of 2.5Y peak
85% of all-time peak
17 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 2.5-year high of 20 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +42% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+42% 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 — 50% buying
11 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 11 funds bought or added vs 11 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 3 → 8 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 53% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 35% medium
■ 53% new
Only 2 funds (12%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~4 new funds/quarter
3 → 4 → 3 → 8 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 3 → 8 → 4. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 65% of holders entered in last year
■ 6% veterans
■ 29% 1-2yr
■ 65% new
Of 17 current holders: 11 (65%) entered in the past year, only 1 (6%) 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 — 88% AUM from top-100 funds
88% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 17 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 88% of total institutional value in EVSB. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
