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)
100% of all-time peak
84 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 — +11% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

■ 61% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium

💰
Value +20% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +20%, 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.

New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 5 → 11 → 10. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
