📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added STUB 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
121 hedge funds hold STUB 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 — +12000% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+120 new funds entered over the past year (+12000% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
87 buying60 selling
Last quarter: 87 funds bought or added vs 60 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-35 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 0 → 97 → 62. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 92% entered in last year
■ 1% conviction (2yr+)
■ 7% medium
■ 92% new
Only 1 funds (1%) 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 +36%, value +9%
Last quarter: funds added +36% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +9%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~62 new funds/quarter
0 → 0 → 0 → 97 → 62 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 0 → 97 → 62. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 141 current holders: 135 (96%) entered in the past year, only 6 (4%) 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 — 14% AUM from top-100
14% from top-100 AUM funds
24 of 121 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.3/10 — 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.
