📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SKIL 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.
📊
High ownership — 88% of 3.0Y peak
88% of all-time peak
59 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 67 funds (reached 2010 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +37% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+16 new funds entered over the past year (+37% 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.

40 buying20 selling

💎
