📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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)
100% of all-time peak
18 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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 — 75% buying
9 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 6 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (3 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 2 → 1 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
2 → 6 → 2 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 2 → 1 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
