📊
High ownership — 71% of 3.0Y peak
71% of all-time peak
5 funds currently hold this stock — 71% of the 3.0-year high of 7 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 17% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-17% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢

3 buying2 selling

➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 0 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 20% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 80% medium
■ 20% 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.
💰
Value +109% but shares only +91% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +109%, but actual share count only changed +91%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
6 → 3 → 0 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 0 → 1 → 1. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 5 current holders: 5 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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 — 20% from major AUM funds
20% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 5 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
