📈
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.
📊
High ownership — 77% of 3.0Y peak
77% of all-time peak

📶
Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 2 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
30 buying21 selling
Last quarter: 30 funds bought or added vs 21 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 9 → 5 → 13. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔒
61% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 61% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 14% new
27 out of 44 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
13 → 26 → 9 → 5 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 9 → 5 → 13. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 73% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Of 45 current holders: 33 (73%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 14% top-100 AUM
14% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 6 of 44 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 2.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
