Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added STK 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
70 hedge funds hold STK 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 77% buying
51 buying15 selling
Last quarter: 51 funds were net buyers (13 opened a brand new position + 38 added to an existing one). Only 15 were sellers (10 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

Growing discovery — still being found
7 → 9 → 7 → 10 → 13 new funds/Q

■ 58% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 71 current holders: 41 (58%) 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 — 54% AUM from top-100 funds
54% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 70 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in STK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
