■ 12% medium

💰
Value +28% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +28%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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
3 → 10 → 6 → 7 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 6 → 7 → 4. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.

■ 74% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Of 57 current holders: 42 (74%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

18% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 10 of 57 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
