📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
143 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +39% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+40 new funds entered over the past year (+39% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 61% buying
88 buying56 selling
Last quarter: 88 funds were net buyers (23 opened a brand new position + 65 added to an existing one). Only 56 were sellers (42 trimmed + 14 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 22 → 31 → 23. 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.
🔒
57% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 57% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 20% new
81 out of 143 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +30% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +30%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
16 → 21 → 22 → 31 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 22 → 31 → 23. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 70% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Of 145 current holders: 102 (70%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 19% top-100 AUM
19% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 27 of 143 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
