📈
Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row
For 10 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PEGA 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
445 hedge funds hold PEGA 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 — +46% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+140 new funds entered over the past year (+46% 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 — 55% buying
254 buying210 selling
Last quarter: 254 funds bought or added vs 210 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 (+23 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PEGA position: 80 → 138 → 75 → 98. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
61 → 80 → 138 → 75 → 98 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 80 → 138 → 75 → 98. PEGA is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 53% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 53% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Of 459 current holders: 241 (53%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds
53% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 445 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in PEGA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
