🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
177 hedge funds hold SIBN 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.
📶
Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+20 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
94 buying101 selling
Last quarter: 101 funds reduced or exited vs 94 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +5%, value -34%
Last quarter: funds added +5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -34%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
35 → 35 → 18 → 33 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 18 → 33 → 29. A growing number of institutions are discovering SIBN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

Veteran-anchored — 63% veterans vs 24% newcomers
■ 63% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 181 holders: 114 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 43 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 24% AUM from major funds
24% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 177 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 24% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
