📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added QTJA 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.
📊
High ownership — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
17 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 19 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 11% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold QTJA compared to a year ago (-11% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 70% buying
7 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (2 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium

8 out of 17 hedge funds have held QTJA for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
7 → 2 → 5 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 5 → 1 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 53% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 53% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 35% new
Of 17 current holders: 9 (53%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
