📈
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 68% of 1.5Y high
68% of all-time peak
Only 13 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 19 funds at 2025 Q2 — just 68% 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.
📉
Outflows — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-19% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 70% buying
7 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds were net buyers (2 opened a brand new position + 5 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (2 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 8 → 2 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 31% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 69% medium
■ 31% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 +34%, value -20%
Last quarter: funds added +34% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -20%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
11 → 4 → 8 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 8 → 2 → 2. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 62% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 38% 1-2yr
■ 62% new
Of 13 current holders: 8 (62%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
✅
Strong quality — 31% from major AUM funds
31% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 13 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 2.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
