At the ownership peak (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
233 hedge funds hold HMY 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.
📶
Steady growth — +19% more funds vs a year ago

Buying through price weakness — shares -14%, value -58%

Entry-cohort mix of 247 holders: 134 (54%) are 2+ year veterans, 48 entered 1–2 years ago, and 65 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

54% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 230 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in HMY. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
