📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LIDR 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
42 hedge funds hold LIDR 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
+13 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.

22 buying14 selling

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +166%, value +102%
Last quarter: funds added +166% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +102%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
