📈 Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 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)
172 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 — +132% more funds vs a year ago
+98 new funds entered over the past year (+132% 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 — 55% buying
Last quarter: 94 funds bought or added vs 76 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 (+8 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 29 → 62 → 40 → 48. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
📌 Mixed — 30% long-term, 48% new
Of the 172 current holders: 51 (30%) held >2 years, 39 held 1–2 years, and 82 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.
