📈
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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
20 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.
📉
Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +10%, value -91%
