📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QCAP 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
35 hedge funds hold QCAP right now — the highest count in 2.2 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 — +17% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+17% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 65% buying
24 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (9 opened a brand new position + 15 added to an existing one). Only 13 were sellers (6 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new QCAP position: 6 → 6 → 2 → 9. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 34% entered in last year
■ 20% conviction (2yr+)
■ 46% medium
■ 34% new
Only 7 funds (20%) 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.
💰
Value +393% but shares only +367% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +393%, but actual share count only changed +367%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter
11 → 6 → 6 → 2 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 6 → 2 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
