📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FBT 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
305 hedge funds hold FBT 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 — +16% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+42 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 61% buying
163 buying104 selling
Last quarter: 163 funds were net buyers (61 opened a brand new position + 102 added to an existing one). Only 104 were sellers (74 trimmed + 30 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new FBT position: 15 → 27 → 49 → 61. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 16% medium
■ 22% new
188 out of 305 hedge funds have held FBT 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.
💰
Value +126% but shares only +107% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +126%, but actual share count only changed +107%. 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
32 → 15 → 27 → 49 → 61 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 27 → 49 → 61. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 22% newcomers
■ 67% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 22% new
Entry-cohort mix of 309 holders: 208 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 32 entered 1–2 years ago, and 69 (22%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 71% AUM from top-100 funds
71% from top-100 AUM funds
24 of 304 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 71% of total institutional value in FBT. 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 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
