📈
Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TARS 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
236 hedge funds hold TARS 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
+53 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 — 57% buying
139 buying105 selling
Last quarter: 139 funds bought or added vs 105 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+19 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TARS position: 37 → 42 → 34 → 53. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 31% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 36% medium
■ 31% new
Of the 236 current holders: 79 (33%) held >2 years, 85 held 1–2 years, and 72 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+35% value, -1% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional TARS holdings rose +35% even though funds reduced share count by 1%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
48 → 37 → 42 → 34 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 37 → 42 → 34 → 53. A growing number of institutions are discovering TARS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 40% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 40% veterans
■ 23% 1-2yr
■ 37% new
Of 240 current holders: 97 (40%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds
35% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 236 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
