📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added STXG 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
44 hedge funds hold STXG 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 — +29% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+29% 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 — 53% buying
20 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 20 funds bought or added vs 18 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 7 → 5 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
9 → 11 → 7 → 5 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 7 → 5 → 6. STXG is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

📋
Smaller funds dominant — 5% AUM from top-100
5% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 44 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 5% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
