📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GAIN 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
90 hedge funds hold GAIN 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 — +8% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+8% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
47 buying40 selling
Last quarter: 47 funds bought or added vs 40 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.

🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
17 → 10 → 11 → 16 → 17 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 11 → 16 → 17. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 66% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 66% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 91 current holders: 60 (66%) 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.

Smaller funds dominant — 19% AUM from top-100
19% from top-100 AUM funds
13 of 90 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 19% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
