Based on 3 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 3% of 3.0Y high
3% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 109 funds at 2002 Q4 — just 3% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 97% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
103 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-97% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 75% buying
3 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (0 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 1 → 1 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 100% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 100% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Value +422% but shares only +292% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +422%, but actual share count only changed +292%. 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
17 → 0 → 1 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 1 → 1 → 3. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 3 current holders: 3 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
✅
Strong quality — 33% from major AUM funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 3 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
