Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VVX 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
251 hedge funds hold VVX 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 — +30% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+58 new funds entered over the past year (+30% 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 — 65% buying
155 buying82 selling
Last quarter: 155 funds were net buyers (55 opened a brand new position + 100 added to an existing one). Only 82 were sellers (57 trimmed + 25 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
