Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TSEM 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 momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
451 hedge funds hold TSEM 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 classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +109% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+235 new funds entered over the past year (+109% 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 — 52% buying
250 buying234 selling
Last quarter: 250 funds bought or added vs 234 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 — ~130 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 66 → 94 → 129 → 130. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

Of the 451 current holders: 171 (38%) held >2 years, 78 held 1–2 years, and 202 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
29 → 66 → 94 → 129 → 130 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 66 → 94 → 129 → 130. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 48% veterans vs 44% newcomers
■ 48% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 44% new
Entry-cohort mix of 477 holders: 227 (48%) are 2+ year veterans, 40 entered 1–2 years ago, and 210 (44%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

35% from top-100 AUM funds

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
