📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 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
198 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 — +58% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+73 new funds entered over the past year (+58% 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 — 59% buying
132 buying93 selling
Last quarter: 132 funds bought or added vs 93 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 22 → 24 → 61 → 50. 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.
🔒
57% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 57% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 23% new
113 out of 198 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +3%, value -18%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -18%. 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
23 → 22 → 24 → 61 → 50 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 22 → 24 → 61 → 50. 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 — 70% veterans vs 22% newcomers
■ 70% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 22% new
Entry-cohort mix of 204 holders: 143 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 17 entered 1–2 years ago, and 44 (22%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 54% AUM from top-100 funds
54% from top-100 AUM funds
44 of 198 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% 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 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
