Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IBMT 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
46 hedge funds hold IBMT 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 — +4500% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+45 new funds entered over the past year (+4500% 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 — 88% buying
36 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 36 funds were net buyers (28 opened a brand new position + 8 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (3 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new IBMT position: 2 → 6 → 12 → 28. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 93% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 4% medium
■ 93% new
Only 1 funds (2%) 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
0 → 2 → 6 → 12 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 6 → 12 → 28. 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 — 98% of holders entered in last year
■ 2% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 98% new
Of 46 current holders: 45 (98%) entered in the past year, only 1 (2%) 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 — 6% AUM from top-100
6% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 46 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 6% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.3/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
