📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added TAYD 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.

🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
26 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 26 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 15 → 14 → 8. 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.

■ 43% conviction (2yr+)
■ 35% medium
■ 22% new
22 out of 51 hedge funds have held TAYD for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +26% but shares only +5% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +26%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
3 → 5 → 15 → 14 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 15 → 14 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

■ 51% veterans
■ 29% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 51 current holders: 26 (51%) 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 — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
18 of 51 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in TAYD. 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 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
