Based on 44 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
44 hedge funds hold KSCP 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 — +120% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+120% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
23 buying17 selling
Last quarter: 23 funds bought or added vs 17 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 10 → 17 → 10. 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 — 30% long-term, 39% new
■ 30% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 39% new
Of the 44 current holders: 13 (30%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 17 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.
💰
Value +126% but shares only +38% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +126%, but actual share count only changed +38%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~10 new funds/quarter
5 → 8 → 10 → 17 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 10 → 17 → 10. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 43% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 43% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 45% new
Of 44 current holders: 19 (43%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 90% AUM from top-100 funds
90% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 44 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 90% of total institutional value in KSCP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
