📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added FEBT 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
32 hedge funds hold FEBT 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 — +39% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+39% 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.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 30% buying
8 buying19 selling
Last quarter: 19 funds sold vs only 8 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 12 → 2 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 31% long-term, 44% new
■ 31% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 44% new
Of the 32 current holders: 10 (31%) held >2 years, 8 held 1–2 years, and 14 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
4 → 2 → 12 → 2 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 12 → 2 → 4. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 34% veterans, 47% new entrants
■ 34% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 47% new
Of 32 current holders: 11 (34%) held 2+ years, 6 held 1–2 years, 15 (47%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
