Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added INFL 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
168 hedge funds hold INFL 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 — +24% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+32 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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 — 62% buying
100 buying61 selling
Last quarter: 100 funds were net buyers (36 opened a brand new position + 64 added to an existing one). Only 61 were sellers (46 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new INFL position: 26 → 10 → 22 → 36. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
46% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 46% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 28% new
77 out of 168 hedge funds have held INFL 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
25 → 26 → 10 → 22 → 36 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 10 → 22 → 36. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 52% veterans vs 35% newcomers
■ 52% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 35% new
Entry-cohort mix of 170 holders: 89 (52%) are 2+ year veterans, 22 entered 1–2 years ago, and 59 (35%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 25% AUM from major funds
25% from top-100 AUM funds
13 of 166 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 25% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
