📈
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.
📊
High ownership — 81% of 3.0Y peak
81% of all-time peak
30 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 37 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-9% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 36% buying
10 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds sold vs only 10 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 6 → 0 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
77% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 77% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 0% new
23 out of 30 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -8%, value -44%
Last quarter: funds added -8% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -44%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
3 → 4 → 6 → 0 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 6 → 0 → 5. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 87% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 87% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 7% new
Of 30 current holders: 26 (87%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 23% from major AUM funds
23% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 30 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 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
