📈
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
16 hedge funds hold this stock right now — the highest count in 1.0 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
8 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds bought or added vs 7 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 8 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 88% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 12% medium
■ 88% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Value +31% but shares only +15% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +31%, but actual share count only changed +15%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
3 → 8 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 8 → 5. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 16 current holders: 16 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 50% from top-100 AUM funds
50% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 16 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 7.2/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
