📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (96% of max)
96% of all-time peak
23 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 60% buying
12 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 12 funds were net buyers (6 opened a brand new position + 6 added to an existing one). Only 8 were sellers (8 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 2 → 0 → 6. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔒
48% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 48% conviction (2yr+)
■ 30% medium
■ 22% new
11 out of 23 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +23% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +23%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
1 → 3 → 2 → 0 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 2 → 0 → 6. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 48% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 48% veterans
■ 30% 1-2yr
■ 22% new
Of 23 current holders: 11 (48%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 4% top-100 AUM
4% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 1 of 23 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
