■ 29% medium

💰
Value +40% but shares only +18% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +40%, but actual share count only changed +18%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.

New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 0 → 1 → 2. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
