📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SFLR 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
163 hedge funds hold SFLR 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 — +58% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+60 new funds entered over the past year (+58% 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 — 67% buying
107 buying52 selling
Last quarter: 107 funds were net buyers (37 opened a brand new position + 70 added to an existing one). Only 52 were sellers (45 trimmed + 7 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
Funds opening a new SFLR position: 24 → 28 → 15 → 37. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 38% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 50% medium
■ 38% new
Only 20 funds (12%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~37 new funds/quarter
24 → 24 → 28 → 15 → 37 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 28 → 15 → 37. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 55% of holders entered in last year
■ 12% veterans
■ 33% 1-2yr
■ 55% new
Of 163 current holders: 90 (55%) entered in the past year, only 19 (12%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 38% AUM from major funds
38% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 163 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
