📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added LCID 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.
📊
High ownership — 76% of 3.0Y peak
76% of all-time peak
353 funds currently hold this stock — 76% of the 3.0-year high of 467 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 18% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
75 fewer hedge funds hold LCID compared to a year ago (-18% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
194 buying156 selling
Last quarter: 194 funds bought or added vs 156 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -21%, value -82%

Elite ownership — 81% AUM from top-100 funds
81% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 353 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 81% of total institutional value in LCID. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
