📈
Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FDVV 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
513 hedge funds hold FDVV 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +40% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+146 new funds entered over the past year (+40% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 61% buying
294 buying185 selling
Last quarter: 294 funds were net buyers (66 opened a brand new position + 228 added to an existing one). Only 185 were sellers (144 trimmed + 41 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 52 → 78 → 78 → 66. 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.

📈
Growing discovery — still being found
59 → 52 → 78 → 78 → 66 new funds/Q

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
