📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added OUT 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
280 hedge funds hold OUT 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 — +1900% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+266 new funds entered over the past year (+1900% 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
168 buying128 selling
Last quarter: 168 funds bought or added vs 128 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+31 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new OUT position: 228 → 33 → 32 → 63. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 34% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 64% medium
■ 34% new
Only 6 funds (2%) 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 (+27% value, -4% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional OUT holdings rose +27% even though funds reduced share count by 4%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
14 → 228 → 33 → 32 → 63 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 228 → 33 → 32 → 63. OUT 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 — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 284 current holders: 272 (96%) entered in the past year, only 12 (4%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 42% AUM from top-100 funds
42% from top-100 AUM funds
39 of 280 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 42% of total institutional value in OUT. 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 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
