📈 Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, 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.
🏔️ At the ownership peak (100% of max)
142 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
📶 Steady growth — +17% more funds vs a year ago
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+17% 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
Last quarter: 81 funds were net buyers (18 opened a brand new position + 63 added to an existing one). Only 53 were sellers (36 trimmed + 17 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 14 → 23 → 25 → 18. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒 58% of holders stayed for 2+ years
83 out of 142 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.
