📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
📊
High ownership — 79% of 3.0Y peak
79% of all-time peak
19 funds currently hold this stock — 79% of the 3.0-year high of 24 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +6% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+6% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
6 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 3 added to an existing one). Only 4 were sellers (4 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

🔒
63% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 63% conviction (2yr+)
■ 5% medium
■ 32% new
12 out of 19 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +1371% but shares only +1206% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +1371%, but actual share count only changed +1206%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 4 → 4 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 4 → 1 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 63% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 63% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 19 current holders: 12 (63%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 5% top-100 AUM
5% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 1 of 19 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 2.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
