Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SITM 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
373 hedge funds hold SITM 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 — +42% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+110 new funds entered over the past year (+42% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
209 buying173 selling
Last quarter: 209 funds bought or added vs 173 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

■ 45% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 31% new

💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+16% value, -0% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional SITM holdings rose +16% even though funds reduced share count by 0%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
55 → 48 → 75 → 71 → 83 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 48 → 75 → 71 → 83. A growing number of institutions are discovering SITM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 55% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 55% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 385 current holders: 211 (55%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

57% from top-100 AUM funds
42 of 373 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in SITM. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
