📈
Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PAAS 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
539 hedge funds hold PAAS 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 — +54% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+190 new funds entered over the past year (+54% 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 — 56% buying
302 buying233 selling
Last quarter: 302 funds bought or added vs 233 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 (+18 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PAAS position: 62 → 77 → 117 → 135. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
49% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 49% conviction (2yr+)
■ 18% medium
■ 33% new
264 out of 539 hedge funds have held PAAS for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -32%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -32%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
63 → 62 → 77 → 117 → 135 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 62 → 77 → 117 → 135. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 59% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 579 current holders: 340 (59%) 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 — 34% AUM from major funds
34% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 539 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 34% 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 4.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
