📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SOLT 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
23 hedge funds hold SOLT 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 classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
18 buying15 selling
Last quarter: 18 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 — ~12 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 12 → 12. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 83% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 83% 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 +47%, value -59%
Last quarter: funds added +47% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -59%. 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
10 → 12 → 12 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 12 → 12. A growing number of institutions are discovering SOLT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 97% of holders entered in last year
■ 3% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 97% new
Of 30 current holders: 29 (97%) entered in the past year, only 1 (3%) 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 — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 23 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 0% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.1/10 — 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.
