📈
Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KOPN 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
141 hedge funds hold KOPN 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 — +45% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+44 new funds entered over the past year (+45% 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 — 57% buying
87 buying66 selling
Last quarter: 87 funds bought or added vs 66 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.

📈
Growing discovery — still being found
27 → 21 → 38 → 32 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 38 → 32 → 33. A growing number of institutions are discovering KOPN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 65% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 65% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 148 current holders: 96 (65%) 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.
✅
