Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added HRTG 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
192 hedge funds hold HRTG 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 — +66% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+76 new funds entered over the past year (+66% 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 — 63% buying
126 buying74 selling
Last quarter: 126 funds were net buyers (42 opened a brand new position + 84 added to an existing one). Only 74 were sellers (51 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

new funds entering per quarter

💰
Value +19% but shares only +2% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +19%, but actual share count only changed +2%. 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.

■ 33% new
