📈
Buying streak — 9 quarters in a row
For 9 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PROP 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
98 hedge funds hold PROP 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 — +133% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+56 new funds entered over the past year (+133% 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 — 64% buying
54 buying30 selling
Last quarter: 54 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 37 added to an existing one). Only 30 were sellers (21 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 31 → 23 → 25 → 17. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 47% entered in last year
■ 7% conviction (2yr+)
■ 46% medium
■ 47% new
Only 7 funds (7%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +20%, value +3%
Last quarter: funds added +20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +3%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
10 → 31 → 23 → 25 → 17 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 31 → 23 → 25 → 17. PROP is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 67% of holders entered in last year
■ 2% veterans
■ 31% 1-2yr
■ 67% new
Of 100 current holders: 67 (67%) entered in the past year, only 2 (2%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds
44% from top-100 AUM funds
25 of 98 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in PROP. 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 5.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
