📈
Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IBHG 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
127 hedge funds hold IBHG 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 — +74% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+54 new funds entered over the past year (+74% 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 — 67% buying
79 buying39 selling
Last quarter: 79 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 59 added to an existing one). Only 39 were sellers (31 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 19 → 30 → 20. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 43% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 35% medium
■ 43% new
Only 28 funds (22%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -25%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -25%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
7 → 16 → 19 → 30 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 19 → 30 → 20. A growing number of institutions are discovering IBHG each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 20% veterans, 51% new entrants
■ 20% veterans
■ 28% 1-2yr
■ 51% new
Of 127 current holders: 26 (20%) held 2+ years, 36 held 1–2 years, 65 (51%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅
Strong quality — 29% AUM from major funds
29% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 127 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 29% 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 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
