📈
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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
79 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 — +55% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+28 new funds entered over the past year (+55% 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 — 61% buying
51 buying32 selling
Last quarter: 51 funds were net buyers (26 opened a brand new position + 25 added to an existing one). Only 32 were sellers (17 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+40% value, -1% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional PEPG holdings rose +40% even though funds reduced share count by 1%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
10 → 23 → 6 → 31 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 23 → 6 → 31 → 26. 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.
