Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PL 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
335 hedge funds hold PL 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 — +82% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+151 new funds entered over the past year (+82% 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 — 59% buying
211 buying146 selling
Last quarter: 211 funds bought or added vs 146 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 (+29 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PL position: 44 → 51 → 74 → 103. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
43% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 43% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 38% new
143 out of 335 hedge funds have held PL for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +60% but shares only +8% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +60%, but actual share count only changed +8%. 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
43 → 44 → 51 → 74 → 103 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 44 → 51 → 74 → 103. 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 — 54% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 54% veterans
■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
Of 356 current holders: 193 (54%) 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 — 56% AUM from top-100 funds
56% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 335 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 56% of total institutional value in PL. 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 4.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
