📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added LQDB 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
15 hedge funds hold LQDB 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 — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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
6 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds bought or added vs 5 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 4 → 3 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
40% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 40% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 27% new
6 out of 15 hedge funds have held LQDB 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 3 → 4 → 3 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 4 → 3 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 40% veterans vs 33% newcomers
■ 40% veterans
■ 27% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 15 holders: 6 (40%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 5 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 72% AUM from top-100 funds
72% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 15 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 72% of total institutional value in LQDB. 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 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
