Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IPX 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
44 hedge funds hold IPX 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 — +83% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+20 new funds entered over the past year (+83% 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 — 65% buying
33 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 33 funds were net buyers (16 opened a brand new position + 17 added to an existing one). Only 18 were sellers (8 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~16 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 13 → 15 → 16. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 27% long-term, 59% new
■ 27% conviction (2yr+)
■ 14% medium
■ 59% new
Of the 44 current holders: 12 (27%) held >2 years, 6 held 1–2 years, and 26 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +36%, value -0%
Last quarter: funds added +36% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -0%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
10 → 5 → 13 → 15 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 13 → 15 → 16. 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 — 61% of holders entered in last year
■ 34% veterans
■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 61% new
Of 44 current holders: 27 (61%) entered in the past year, only 15 (34%) 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 — 6% AUM from top-100
6% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 44 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 6% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.7/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
