📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their HIMU positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
230 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 258 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +31% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+55 new funds entered over the past year (+31% 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.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying
111 buying173 selling
Last quarter: 173 funds sold vs only 111 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 52 → 45 → 55 → 46. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 42% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 58% medium
■ 42% new
Only 1 funds (0%) 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 — ~46 new funds/quarter
174 → 52 → 45 → 55 → 46 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 52 → 45 → 55 → 46. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 99% of holders entered in last year
■ 1% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 99% new
Of 230 current holders: 228 (99%) entered in the past year, only 2 (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 — 54% AUM from top-100 funds
54% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 230 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% 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 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
