📈
Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KALV 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
155 hedge funds hold KALV 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 — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+32 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
89 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 89 funds bought or added vs 72 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new KALV position: 28 → 27 → 29 → 36. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
46% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 46% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium
■ 25% new
72 out of 155 hedge funds have held KALV for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +7%, value -52%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -52%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
24 → 28 → 27 → 29 → 36 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 28 → 27 → 29 → 36. A growing number of institutions are discovering KALV each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 58% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 58% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 31% new
Of 159 current holders: 92 (58%) 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
28 of 155 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.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
