📈 Buying streak — 9 quarters in a row
For 9 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)
144 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 — +177% more funds vs a year ago
+92 new funds entered over the past year (+177% 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 — 81% buying
Last quarter: 118 funds were net buyers (30 opened a brand new position + 88 added to an existing one). Only 27 were sellers (21 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈 More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 41 → 32 → 21 → 30. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔄 Mostly new holders — 49% entered in last year
Only 4 funds (3%) 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.
