📈
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
276 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 — +200% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+184 new funds entered over the past year (+200% 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 — 64% buying
182 buying101 selling
Last quarter: 182 funds were net buyers (78 opened a brand new position + 104 added to an existing one). Only 101 were sellers (74 trimmed + 27 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~78 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 61 → 64 → 73 → 78. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 29% long-term, 48% new
■ 29% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 48% new
Of the 276 current holders: 81 (29%) held >2 years, 63 held 1–2 years, and 132 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.
💰
Value +32% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +32%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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
14 → 61 → 64 → 73 → 78 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 61 → 64 → 73 → 78. 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 — 40% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 40% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 51% new
Of 284 current holders: 115 (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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 12% top-100 AUM
12% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 34 of 276 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 5.8/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
