📈
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.
🔻
Below peak — only 38% of 3.0Y high
38% of all-time peak
Only 26 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 68 funds at 2011 Q2 — just 38% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +1200% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+1200% 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 — 90% buying
26 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 26 funds were net buyers (22 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (0 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -25%, value -85%
Last quarter: funds added -25% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -85%. 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
1 → 0 → 1 → 7 → 22 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 1 → 7 → 22. 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.

■ 54% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 46% new

🏆
Elite ownership — 46% from top-100 AUM funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 26 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
