📈 Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️ At the ownership peak (100% of max)
172 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀 Fast accumulation — +50% more funds vs a year ago
+57 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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 — 73% buying
Last quarter: 115 funds were net buyers (30 opened a brand new position + 85 added to an existing one). Only 43 were sellers (32 trimmed + 11 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️ Steady new buyers — ~30 new funds per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 32 → 25 → 30. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌 Mixed — 26% long-term, 38% new
Of the 172 current holders: 44 (26%) held >2 years, 62 held 1–2 years, and 66 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.
