📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 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)
100% of all-time peak
189 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 — +56% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+68 new funds entered over the past year (+56% 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 — 72% buying
126 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 126 funds were net buyers (36 opened a brand new position + 90 added to an existing one). Only 49 were sellers (42 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 26% medium
■ 40% new
Of the 189 current holders: 63 (33%) held >2 years, 50 held 1–2 years, and 76 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.
💰
Value +33% but shares only +12% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +33%, 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
19 → 16 → 25 → 33 → 36 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 25 → 33 → 36. 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.
