No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
11 hedge funds hold WHLRP 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 — +1000% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+1000% 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 sellers than buyers — 43% buying
3 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds reduced or exited vs 3 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 4 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
55% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 55% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 18% new
6 out of 11 hedge funds have held WHLRP 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 (+28% value, -4% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional WHLRP holdings rose +28% even though funds reduced share count by 4%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 7 → 4 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 4 → 1 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 64% veterans vs 18% newcomers
■ 64% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Entry-cohort mix of 11 holders: 7 (64%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 2 (18%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

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.
