📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 50% of 3.0Y high
50% of all-time peak
Only 12 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 24 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 50% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 48% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
11 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-48% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 62% buying
5 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (2 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 2 → 1 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
50% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 50% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 17% new
6 out of 12 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -36%, value -61%
Last quarter: funds added -36% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -61%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
9 → 6 → 2 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 2 → 1 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 58% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 58% veterans
■ 25% 1-2yr
■ 17% new
Of 12 current holders: 7 (58%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 33% from major AUM funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 12 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
