Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 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
173 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.
📶
Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+22 new funds entered over the past year (+15% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
96 buying83 selling
Last quarter: 96 funds bought or added vs 83 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 (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 24 → 31 → 26 → 33. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.

■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 64% medium
■ 32% new
Only 6 funds (3%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.

141 → 24 → 31 → 26 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 31 → 26 → 33. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 91% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 4% 1-2yr
■ 91% new
Of 176 current holders: 160 (91%) entered in the past year, only 9 (5%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
