📈
Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row
For 8 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
150 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +46% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+47 new funds entered over the past year (+46% 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 — 52% buying
77 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 77 funds bought or added vs 72 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 — ~36 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 33 → 27 → 34 → 36. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 39% long-term, 31% new
■ 39% conviction (2yr+)
■ 30% medium
■ 31% new
Of the 150 current holders: 58 (39%) held >2 years, 45 held 1–2 years, and 47 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.
💰
Value +106% but shares only +26% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +106%, but actual share count only changed +26%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
22 → 33 → 27 → 34 → 36 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 33 → 27 → 34 → 36. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 52% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 52% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 38% new
Of 162 current holders: 84 (52%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 7% top-100 AUM
7% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 10 of 150 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.

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.
