Based on 165 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈 Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 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)
165 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.
📶 Steady growth — +10% more funds vs a year ago
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+10% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡 Slight buying edge — 55% buying
Last quarter: 88 funds bought or added vs 72 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.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 15 → 32 → 33 → 21. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒 60% of holders stayed for 2+ years
99 out of 165 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
