Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IBDZ 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
105 hedge funds hold IBDZ 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 — +123% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+58 new funds entered over the past year (+123% 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 — 82% buying
79 buying17 selling
Last quarter: 79 funds were net buyers (19 opened a brand new position + 60 added to an existing one). Only 17 were sellers (13 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~19 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 16 → 17 → 19. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 42% entered in last year
■ 1% conviction (2yr+)
■ 57% medium
■ 42% new
Only 1 funds (1%) 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 — ~19 new funds/quarter
24 → 21 → 16 → 17 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 16 → 17 → 19. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 77% of holders entered in last year
■ 1% veterans
■ 22% 1-2yr
■ 77% new
Of 105 current holders: 81 (77%) entered in the past year, only 1 (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.
✅
Strong quality — 21% AUM from major funds
21% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 105 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 21% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
