Based on 56 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈 Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️ At the ownership peak (100% of max)
56 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
📶 Steady growth — +6% more funds vs a year ago
+3 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
Last quarter: 33 funds bought or added vs 26 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 (+9 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 6 → 5 → 14. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔄 Mostly new holders — 30% entered in last year
Only 4 funds (7%) 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.
