📈
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 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 2 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 195 funds at 2006 Q1 — just 1% 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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 — 100% buying
1 buying0 selling
Last quarter: 1 funds were net buyers (1 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 0 were sellers (0 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 1 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💰
Value +4715% but shares only +4020% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +4715%, but actual share count only changed +4020%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~1 new funds/quarter
1 → 1 → 1 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 1 → 1 → 1. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
