Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IBBQ 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
28 hedge funds hold IBBQ 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 — +33% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+33% 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 — 66% buying
19 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 19 funds were net buyers (16 opened a brand new position + 3 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (3 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new IBBQ position: 3 → 5 → 6 → 16. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 32% long-term, 61% new
■ 32% conviction (2yr+)
■ 7% medium
■ 61% new
Of the 28 current holders: 9 (32%) held >2 years, 2 held 1–2 years, and 17 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Value +143% but shares only +108% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +143%, but actual share count only changed +108%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
5 → 3 → 5 → 6 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 5 → 6 → 16. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🌱
Early stage — 61% of holders entered in last year
■ 32% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 61% new
Of 28 current holders: 17 (61%) entered in the past year, only 9 (32%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 7% AUM from top-100
7% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 28 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 7% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
