📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 65% of 3.0Y high
65% of all-time peak
Only 37 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 57 funds at 2017 Q1 — just 65% 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 — +37% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+37% 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 sellers than buyers — 48% buying
21 buying23 selling
Last quarter: 23 funds reduced or exited vs 21 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 2 → 4 → 18. 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 — 38% entered in last year
■ 11% conviction (2yr+)
■ 51% medium
■ 38% new
Only 4 funds (11%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -16%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -16% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
14 → 7 → 2 → 4 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 2 → 4 → 18. 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 — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 46% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 46% new
Of 37 current holders: 17 (46%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 30% from major AUM funds
30% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 37 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
