📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added EXFY 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
105 hedge funds hold EXFY 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.
📶
Steady growth — +19% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+17 new funds entered over the past year (+19% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
50 buying52 selling
Last quarter: 52 funds reduced or exited vs 50 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 18 → 28 → 25 → 15. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
43% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 43% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 25% new
45 out of 105 hedge funds have held EXFY for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -24%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -24%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~15 new funds/quarter
25 → 18 → 28 → 25 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 28 → 25 → 15. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 60% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 60% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Of 106 current holders: 64 (60%) 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 — 39% AUM from major funds
39% from top-100 AUM funds
27 of 105 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 39% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
