📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added GTEK 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
27 hedge funds hold GTEK 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.
📶
Steady growth — +12% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
10 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds bought or added vs 9 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 5 → 2 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
59% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 59% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 19% new
16 out of 27 hedge funds have held GTEK for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
6 → 5 → 5 → 2 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 5 → 2 → 3. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 59% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 27 current holders: 16 (59%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 27 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in GTEK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
