Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IBMR 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
126 hedge funds hold IBMR 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 — +31% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+30 new funds entered over the past year (+31% 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 — 71% buying
81 buying33 selling
Last quarter: 81 funds were net buyers (18 opened a brand new position + 63 added to an existing one). Only 33 were sellers (21 trimmed + 12 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 47% medium
■ 29% new
Only 30 funds (24%) 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
19 → 19 → 14 → 20 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 19 → 14 → 20 → 18. A growing number of institutions are discovering IBMR each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
