📈
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)
100% of all-time peak
163 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 — +19% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+26 new funds entered over the past year (+19% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
90 buying60 selling
Last quarter: 90 funds were net buyers (39 opened a brand new position + 51 added to an existing one). Only 60 were sellers (39 trimmed + 21 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

🔒
51% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 51% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 22% new
83 out of 163 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +26% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +26%, 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
29 → 24 → 19 → 26 → 39 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 19 → 26 → 39. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 55% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 55% veterans
■ 20% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 163 current holders: 89 (55%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 17% top-100 AUM
17% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 27 of 163 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
