No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
23 hedge funds hold SEPZ 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 — +156% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+14 new funds entered over the past year (+156% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
14 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds bought or added vs 13 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 13 → 3 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 30% long-term, 61% new
■ 30% conviction (2yr+)
■ 9% medium
■ 61% new
Of the 23 current holders: 7 (30%) held >2 years, 2 held 1–2 years, and 14 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
1 → 2 → 13 → 3 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 13 → 3 → 6. SEPZ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 65% of holders entered in last year
■ 35% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 65% new
Of 23 current holders: 15 (65%) entered in the past year, only 8 (35%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.

Moderate Exit Risk
