📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 48% of 3.0Y high
48% of all-time peak
Only 15 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 31 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 48% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 38% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
9 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-38% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 42% buying
5 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds reduced or exited vs 5 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.

■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 7% medium
■ 33% new
9 out of 15 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -45%, value -65%
Last quarter: funds added -45% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -65%. 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
5 → 3 → 0 → 3 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 0 → 3 → 4. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 73% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 15 current holders: 11 (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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 40% from top-100 AUM funds
40% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 15 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 1.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
