📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 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
383 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 — +76% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+165 new funds entered over the past year (+76% 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
224 buying198 selling
Last quarter: 224 funds bought or added vs 198 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 (+35 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TSEM position: 28 → 66 → 94 → 129. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
42% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 42% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 42% new
159 out of 383 hedge funds have held TSEM for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+44% value, -3% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional TSEM holdings rose +44% even though funds reduced share count by 3%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
25 → 28 → 66 → 94 → 129 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 28 → 66 → 94 → 129. 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 — 51% veterans vs 37% newcomers
■ 51% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 37% new
Entry-cohort mix of 412 holders: 209 (51%) are 2+ year veterans, 49 entered 1–2 years ago, and 154 (37%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 26% AUM from major funds
26% from top-100 AUM funds
51 of 374 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 26% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
