📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LASR 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
238 hedge funds hold LASR 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 — +53% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+82 new funds entered over the past year (+53% 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
136 buying110 selling
Last quarter: 136 funds bought or added vs 110 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 (-18 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 50 → 64 → 46. 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.
🔒
48% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 48% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 29% new
114 out of 238 hedge funds have held LASR 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.
💰
Value +32% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +32%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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
20 → 26 → 50 → 64 → 46 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 50 → 64 → 46. A growing number of institutions are discovering LASR each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 59% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Of 241 current holders: 143 (59%) 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 — 33% AUM from major funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
35 of 238 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
