Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added HIMU 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
239 hedge funds hold HIMU 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 — +23800% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+238 new funds entered over the past year (+23800% 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 — 70% buying
173 buying74 selling
Last quarter: 173 funds were net buyers (49 opened a brand new position + 124 added to an existing one). Only 74 were sellers (51 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new HIMU position: 166 → 48 → 41 → 49. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 47% entered in last year
■ 1% conviction (2yr+)
■ 52% medium
■ 47% new
Only 2 funds (1%) 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
1 → 166 → 48 → 41 → 49 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 166 → 48 → 41 → 49. HIMU is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 99% of holders entered in last year
■ 1% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 99% new
Of 239 current holders: 236 (99%) entered in the past year, only 3 (1%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds
53% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 239 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in HIMU. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
