📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

93% of all-time peak
51 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 55 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +19% more funds vs a year ago

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

3 → 13 → 11 → 10 → 6 new funds/Q

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
