📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added HEGD 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
75 hedge funds hold HEGD 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 — +36% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+20 new funds entered over the past year (+36% 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
53 buying21 selling
Last quarter: 53 funds were net buyers (14 opened a brand new position + 39 added to an existing one). Only 21 were sellers (17 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 41% medium
■ 29% new
Of the 75 current holders: 22 (29%) held >2 years, 31 held 1–2 years, and 22 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~14 new funds/quarter

New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 8 → 12 → 14. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 55% of holders entered in last year
■ 33% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 55% new
Of 75 current holders: 41 (55%) entered in the past year, only 25 (33%) 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.
