Based on 128 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈 Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row
For 8 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)
128 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 — +24% more funds vs a year ago
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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
Last quarter: 62 funds bought or added vs 56 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 — ~19 new funds per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 19 → 21 → 22 → 19. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌 Mixed — 38% long-term, 26% new
Of the 128 current holders: 49 (38%) held >2 years, 46 held 1–2 years, and 33 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.
