📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SQLV 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
17 hedge funds hold SQLV 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 classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +70% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+70% 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 — 67% buying
10 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds were net buyers (6 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (3 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter

■ 18% medium

💰
Value +22% but shares only +3% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +22%, but actual share count only changed +3%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️

2 → 3 → 3 → 3 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 3 → 3 → 6. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
