Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FEP 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
140 hedge funds hold FEP 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 — +37% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+37% 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 — 60% buying
80 buying54 selling
Last quarter: 80 funds were net buyers (27 opened a brand new position + 53 added to an existing one). Only 54 were sellers (39 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
18 → 12 → 19 → 26 → 27 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 19 → 26 → 27. 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.

■ 62% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 140 holders: 87 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 37 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

60% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 140 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 60% of total institutional value in FEP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
