📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PDLB 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
89 hedge funds hold PDLB 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+16 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 63% buying
52 buying31 selling
Last quarter: 52 funds were net buyers (19 opened a brand new position + 33 added to an existing one). Only 31 were sellers (21 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PDLB position: 12 → 4 → 11 → 19. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +15%, value -22%
Last quarter: funds added +15% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -22%. 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
10 → 12 → 4 → 11 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 4 → 11 → 19. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 47% veterans vs 37% newcomers
■ 47% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 37% new
Entry-cohort mix of 89 holders: 42 (47%) are 2+ year veterans, 14 entered 1–2 years ago, and 33 (37%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds
41% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 89 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in PDLB. 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 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
