📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SLDE 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
151 hedge funds hold SLDE 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 — +15000% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+150 new funds entered over the past year (+15000% 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
116 buying56 selling
Last quarter: 116 funds were net buyers (70 opened a brand new position + 46 added to an existing one). Only 56 were sellers (29 trimmed + 27 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+15 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SLDE position: 1 → 79 → 55 → 70. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 95% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 3% medium
■ 95% new
Only 3 funds (2%) 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.
💰
Value +44% but shares only +17% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +44%, but actual share count only changed +17%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
0 → 1 → 79 → 55 → 70 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 79 → 55 → 70. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🌱
Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 157 current holders: 151 (96%) entered in the past year, only 6 (4%) 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 — 36% AUM from major funds
36% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 151 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 36% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 7.4/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
