📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added OILT 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
8 hedge funds hold OILT right now — the highest count in 2.5 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 — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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 — 57% buying
4 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds bought or added vs 3 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 — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 1 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 25% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 62% medium
■ 25% new
Only 1 funds (12%) 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+23% value, -14% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional OILT holdings rose +23% even though funds reduced share count by 14%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
3 → 3 → 1 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 1 → 1 → 2. OILT is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 62% of holders entered in last year
■ 12% veterans
■ 25% 1-2yr
■ 62% new
Of 8 current holders: 5 (62%) entered in the past year, only 1 (12%) 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 — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 8 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
