📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SUNC 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
172 hedge funds hold SUNC 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 — +17100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+171 new funds entered over the past year (+17100% 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 — 56% buying
101 buying80 selling
Last quarter: 101 funds bought or added vs 80 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 (-22 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 122 → 65 → 43. 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 — 98% entered in last year
■ 1% conviction (2yr+)
■ 2% medium
■ 98% 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~43 new funds/quarter
0 → 0 → 122 → 65 → 43 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 122 → 65 → 43. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 98% of holders entered in last year
■ 2% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 98% new
Of 172 current holders: 168 (98%) entered in the past year, only 4 (2%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 63% AUM from top-100 funds
63% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 172 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 63% of total institutional value in SUNC. 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 7.4/10 — 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.
