Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SETM 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
55 hedge funds hold SETM 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 — +588% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+47 new funds entered over the past year (+588% 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 — 84% buying
48 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 48 funds were net buyers (33 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 (+20 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SETM position: 2 → 6 → 13 → 33. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 87% entered in last year
■ 9% conviction (2yr+)
■ 4% medium
■ 87% new
Only 5 funds (9%) 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 +196% but shares only +154% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +196%, but actual share count only changed +154%. 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 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 6 → 13 → 33. 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 — 91% of holders entered in last year
■ 9% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 91% new
Of 55 current holders: 50 (91%) entered in the past year, only 5 (9%) 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 — 1% AUM from top-100
1% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 55 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 1% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.2/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
