📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

86% of all-time peak
6 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 7 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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.
