📈
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)
100% of all-time peak
21 hedge funds hold this stock right now — the highest count in 1.0 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
16 buying15 selling
Last quarter: 16 funds bought or added vs 15 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~11 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 12 → 11. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 81% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 81% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +38%, value -62%
Last quarter: funds added +38% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -62%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
9 → 12 → 11 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 12 → 11. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🌱
Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 28 current holders: 27 (96%) entered in the past year, only 1 (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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 10% top-100 AUM
10% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 2 of 21 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 7.0/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
