📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
160 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +31% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+31% 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 — 53% buying
92 buying82 selling
Last quarter: 92 funds bought or added vs 82 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 (+16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 22 → 28 → 30 → 46. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 43% entered in last year
■ 6% conviction (2yr+)
■ 51% medium
■ 43% new
Only 10 funds (6%) 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 +184% but shares only +2% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +184%, but actual share count only changed +2%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
37 → 22 → 28 → 30 → 46 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 22 → 28 → 30 → 46. 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.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 6% veterans, 49% new entrants
■ 6% veterans
■ 45% 1-2yr
■ 49% new
Of 166 current holders: 10 (6%) held 2+ years, 74 held 1–2 years, 82 (49%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
