📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QYLG 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
34 hedge funds hold QYLG 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 — +6% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+6% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
18 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds bought or added vs 14 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 6 → 9 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 35% long-term, 41% new
■ 35% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 41% new
Of the 34 current holders: 12 (35%) held >2 years, 8 held 1–2 years, and 14 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~6 new funds/quarter
5 → 7 → 6 → 9 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 6 → 9 → 6. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 56% of holders entered in last year
■ 32% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 56% new
Of 34 current holders: 19 (56%) entered in the past year, only 11 (32%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 34 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
