📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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.
📊
High ownership — 90% of 3.0Y peak
90% of all-time peak

📶
Steady growth — +17% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+19 new funds entered over the past year (+17% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
57 buying43 selling
Last quarter: 57 funds bought or added vs 43 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 8 → 31 → 24. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

■ 67% conviction (2yr+)
■ 16% medium
■ 17% new

🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
15 → 10 → 8 → 31 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 8 → 31 → 24. 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 — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 73% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Of 130 current holders: 95 (73%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 12% top-100 AUM
12% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 15 of 128 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
