Based on 39 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
39 hedge funds hold JFIN 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 — +95% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+19 new funds entered over the past year (+95% 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 sellers than buyers — 47% buying
20 buying23 selling
Last quarter: 23 funds reduced or exited vs 20 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 9 → 14 → 7. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 41% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 41% new
Of the 39 current holders: 13 (33%) held >2 years, 10 held 1–2 years, and 16 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 +3%, value -42%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -42%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
3 → 13 → 9 → 14 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 9 → 14 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 53% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 53% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 35% new
Of 43 current holders: 23 (53%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 20% AUM from major funds
20% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 39 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 20% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
5.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
