📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LDI 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
137 hedge funds hold LDI 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 — +69% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+56 new funds entered over the past year (+69% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 63% buying
88 buying51 selling
Last quarter: 88 funds were net buyers (38 opened a brand new position + 50 added to an existing one). Only 51 were sellers (31 trimmed + 20 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 20 → 30 → 46 → 38. 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 — 28% long-term, 51% new
■ 28% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 51% new
Of the 137 current holders: 38 (28%) held >2 years, 29 held 1–2 years, and 70 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -15%, value -42%
Last quarter: funds added -15% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -42%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
19 → 20 → 30 → 46 → 38 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 30 → 46 → 38. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 40% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 40% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 47% new
Of 144 current holders: 58 (40%) 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 — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
26 of 137 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% 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 5.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
