Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LXU 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
189 hedge funds hold LXU 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 — +43% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+57 new funds entered over the past year (+43% 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 — 66% buying
126 buying66 selling
Last quarter: 126 funds were net buyers (61 opened a brand new position + 65 added to an existing one). Only 66 were sellers (46 trimmed + 20 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+37 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new LXU position: 23 → 22 → 24 → 61. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 23% new
105 out of 189 hedge funds have held LXU 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 +109% but shares only +23% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +109%, but actual share count only changed +23%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
21 → 23 → 22 → 24 → 61 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 23 → 22 → 24 → 61. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 25% newcomers
■ 67% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 196 holders: 131 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 49 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 40% AUM from top-100 funds
40% from top-100 AUM funds
39 of 187 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 40% of total institutional value in LXU. 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 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
