Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GRO 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
35 hedge funds hold GRO 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 — +289% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+26 new funds entered over the past year (+289% 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 — 72% buying
26 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 26 funds were net buyers (15 opened a brand new position + 11 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (3 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~15 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 10 → 12 → 15. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 80% entered in last year
■ 6% conviction (2yr+)
■ 14% medium
■ 80% new
Only 2 funds (6%) 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+34% value, -19% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional GRO holdings rose +34% even though funds reduced share count by 19%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
6 → 2 → 10 → 12 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 10 → 12 → 15. A growing number of institutions are discovering GRO each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 91% of holders entered in last year
■ 6% veterans
■ 3% 1-2yr
■ 91% new
Of 35 current holders: 32 (91%) entered in the past year, only 2 (6%) 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 — 4% AUM from top-100
4% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 35 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 4% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.0/10 — 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.
