📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added FORM 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
319 hedge funds hold FORM 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.
📶
Steady growth — +12% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+34 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 58% buying
191 buying137 selling
Last quarter: 191 funds bought or added vs 137 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+51 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new FORM position: 39 → 56 → 42 → 93. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
60% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 20% new
190 out of 319 hedge funds have held FORM 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 +54% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +54%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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
42 → 39 → 56 → 42 → 93 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 39 → 56 → 42 → 93. A growing number of institutions are discovering FORM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 69% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 69% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 326 current holders: 225 (69%) 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 — 48% AUM from top-100 funds
48% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 319 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in FORM. 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 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
