📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added HESAY 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
21 hedge funds hold HESAY 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 — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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 — 67% buying
10 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (5 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new HESAY position: 2 → 5 → 1 → 8. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 43% entered in last year
■ 19% conviction (2yr+)
■ 38% medium
■ 43% new
Only 4 funds (19%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
5 → 2 → 5 → 1 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 5 → 1 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
