📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added IQI 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.

93% of all-time peak
100 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 107 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
