📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GPZ 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
46 hedge funds hold GPZ right now — the highest count in 1.0 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 70% buying
37 buying16 selling
Last quarter: 37 funds were net buyers (18 opened a brand new position + 19 added to an existing one). Only 16 were sellers (5 trimmed + 11 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~18 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 17 → 18. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 96% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 4% medium
■ 96% 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 +58%, value +25%
Last quarter: funds added +58% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +25%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
26 → 17 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 17 → 18. GPZ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 46 current holders: 46 (100%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 17% AUM from top-100
17% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 46 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 17% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.4/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
