📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QCJL 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
59 hedge funds hold QCJL 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 — +90% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+28 new funds entered over the past year (+90% 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.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 37% buying
16 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 27 funds sold vs only 16 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 5 → 18 → 10. 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 — 46% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 53% medium
■ 46% new
Only 1 funds (2%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~10 new funds/quarter
9 → 9 → 5 → 18 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 5 → 18 → 10. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 63% of holders entered in last year
■ 2% veterans
■ 36% 1-2yr
■ 63% new
Of 59 current holders: 37 (63%) entered in the past year, only 1 (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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 2% AUM from top-100
2% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 59 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 2% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
