📈
Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 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
50 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +614% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+43 new funds entered over the past year (+614% 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 — 83% buying
44 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 44 funds were net buyers (29 opened a brand new position + 15 added to an existing one). Only 9 were sellers (4 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 6 → 13 → 29. 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 — 88% entered in last year
■ 8% conviction (2yr+)
■ 4% medium
■ 88% new
Only 4 funds (8%) 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.
💰
Value +151% but shares only +116% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +151%, but actual share count only changed +116%. 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
1 → 2 → 6 → 13 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 6 → 13 → 29. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 92% of holders entered in last year
■ 8% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 92% new
Of 50 current holders: 46 (92%) entered in the past year, only 4 (8%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 8% top-100 AUM
8% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 4 of 50 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 7.2/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
