📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WOOF 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
202 hedge funds hold WOOF 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.
📶
Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+8 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
90 buying108 selling
Last quarter: 108 funds reduced or exited vs 90 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 — ~34 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter

🔒

■ 59% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 15% new
120 out of 202 hedge funds have held WOOF 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +0%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added +0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
49 → 32 → 33 → 39 → 34 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 33 → 39 → 34. A growing number of institutions are discovering WOOF each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 72% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 72% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 17% new
Of 212 current holders: 152 (72%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 13% AUM from top-100
13% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 202 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 13% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
