📈
Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VOLT 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
79 hedge funds hold VOLT 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 — +778% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+70 new funds entered over the past year (+778% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 80% buying
60 buying15 selling
Last quarter: 60 funds were net buyers (33 opened a brand new position + 27 added to an existing one). Only 15 were sellers (9 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 6 → 40 → 33. 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.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 87% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 13% medium
■ 87% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
7 → 3 → 6 → 40 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 6 → 40 → 33. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 95% of holders entered in last year
■ 1% veterans
■ 4% 1-2yr
■ 95% new
Of 79 current holders: 75 (95%) entered in the past year, only 1 (1%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 29% AUM from major funds
29% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 79 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 29% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 7.2/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
