📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GVA 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
364 hedge funds hold GVA 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
+38 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.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 47% buying
176 buying196 selling
Last quarter: 196 funds reduced or exited vs 176 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.

46% from top-100 AUM funds
39 of 364 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in GVA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
