Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IDEC 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
48 hedge funds hold IDEC right now — the highest count in 2.2 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 — +118% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+26 new funds entered over the past year (+118% 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
42 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 42 funds were net buyers (30 opened a brand new position + 12 added to an existing one). Only 9 were sellers (4 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+28 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new IDEC position: 5 → 3 → 2 → 30. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 67% entered in last year
■ 4% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium
■ 67% new
Only 2 funds (4%) 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
12 → 5 → 3 → 2 → 30 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 3 → 2 → 30. 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 — 81% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 81% new
Of 48 current holders: 39 (81%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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 — 3% AUM from top-100
3% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 48 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 3% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
