📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added RLAY 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
214 hedge funds hold RLAY 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 — +13% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
117 buying80 selling
Last quarter: 117 funds bought or added vs 80 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+29 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new RLAY position: 36 → 31 → 20 → 49. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
48% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 48% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 27% new
103 out of 214 hedge funds have held RLAY 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.
💰
Value +69% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +69%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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 — ~49 new funds/quarter
38 → 36 → 31 → 20 → 49 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 36 → 31 → 20 → 49. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 56% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 56% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Of 218 current holders: 121 (56%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 21% AUM from major funds
21% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 214 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 21% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
