📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added INCR 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.
📊
High ownership — 75% of 3.0Y peak
75% of all-time peak
15 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 20 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 12% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold INCR compared to a year ago (-12% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
5 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds bought or added vs 5 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 0 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 53% medium
■ 0% new
7 out of 15 hedge funds have held INCR for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +22% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +22%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
5 → 5 → 0 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 0 → 1 → 2. INCR is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 60% veterans vs 13% newcomers
■ 60% veterans
■ 27% 1-2yr
■ 13% new
Entry-cohort mix of 15 holders: 9 (60%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 2 (13%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 23% AUM from major funds
23% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 15 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
