Based on 63 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈 Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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.
📊 High ownership — 74% of 3.0Y peak
63 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 3.0-year high of 85 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉 Outflows — 26% fewer funds vs a year ago
22 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-26% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡 Slight buying edge — 57% buying
Last quarter: 32 funds bought or added vs 24 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.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 12 → 16 → 9. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒 71% of holders stayed for 2+ years
45 out of 63 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
