Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FSM 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
230 hedge funds hold FSM 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 — +41% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+67 new funds entered over the past year (+41% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
123 buying97 selling
Last quarter: 123 funds bought or added vs 97 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~45 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 32 → 45 → 41 → 45. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

■ 7% conviction (2yr+)
■ 57% medium
■ 36% new
Only 16 funds (7%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
25 → 32 → 45 → 41 → 45 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 45 → 41 → 45. A growing number of institutions are discovering FSM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
