Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GIL 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
459 hedge funds hold GIL 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +49% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+151 new funds entered over the past year (+49% 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 — 74% buying
338 buying119 selling
Last quarter: 338 funds were net buyers (163 opened a brand new position + 175 added to an existing one). Only 119 were sellers (91 trimmed + 28 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
49 → 43 → 35 → 56 → 163 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 43 → 35 → 56 → 163. 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.

■ 55% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
