📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FGD 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
153 hedge funds hold FGD 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 — +29% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+34 new funds entered over the past year (+29% 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 — 67% buying
91 buying45 selling
Last quarter: 91 funds were net buyers (19 opened a brand new position + 72 added to an existing one). Only 45 were sellers (36 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 19% new
86 out of 153 hedge funds have held FGD for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +35% but shares only +12% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +35%, but actual share count only changed +12%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
21 → 14 → 16 → 21 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 16 → 21 → 19. A growing number of institutions are discovering FGD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 63% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 63% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 22% new
Of 153 current holders: 96 (63%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds
61% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 153 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in FGD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
