📈
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 60% of 3.0Y high
60% of all-time peak
Only 12 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 20 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 60% 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.
📶
Steady growth — +9% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+9% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 67% buying
8 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds were net buyers (5 opened a brand new position + 3 added to an existing one). Only 4 were sellers (2 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

🔒
50% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 50% conviction (2yr+)
■ 8% medium
■ 42% new
6 out of 12 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +25% but shares only +5% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +25%, but actual share count only changed +5%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
3 → 3 → 2 → 2 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 2 → 2 → 5. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 42% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 42% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 50% new
Of 12 current holders: 5 (42%) 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 — 8% top-100 AUM
8% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 1 of 12 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 2.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
