📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PPT 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
101 hedge funds hold PPT 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.
📶
Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+14 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 58% buying
47 buying34 selling
Last quarter: 47 funds bought or added vs 34 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 (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PPT position: 8 → 12 → 14 → 22. 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 +4%, value -43%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -43%. 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
16 → 8 → 12 → 14 → 22 new funds/Q
