📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SAIA 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
516 hedge funds hold SAIA 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+98 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
298 buying199 selling
Last quarter: 298 funds were net buyers (106 opened a brand new position + 192 added to an existing one). Only 199 were sellers (157 trimmed + 42 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+22 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 22% new
312 out of 516 hedge funds have held SAIA 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +47%, value +22%
Last quarter: funds added +47% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +22%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
76 → 69 → 80 → 84 → 106 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 69 → 80 → 84 → 106. A growing number of institutions are discovering SAIA each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 23% newcomers
■ 67% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 526 holders: 351 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 52 entered 1–2 years ago, and 123 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds
61% from top-100 AUM funds
64 of 514 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in SAIA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
