📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added WPRT 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.

94% of all-time peak

📶
Steady growth — +5% more funds vs a year ago

💰
Value +105% but shares only +65% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +105%, but actual share count only changed +65%. 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.
