📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WW 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
92 hedge funds hold WW 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 — +9100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+91 new funds entered over the past year (+9100% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
53 buying48 selling
Last quarter: 53 funds bought or added vs 48 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-63 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 2 → 88 → 25. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 96% entered in last year
■ 1% conviction (2yr+)
■ 3% medium
■ 96% new
Only 1 funds (1%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +12%, value -89%
Last quarter: funds added +12% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -89%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
0 → 0 → 2 → 88 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 2 → 88 → 25. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🌱
Early stage — 99% of holders entered in last year
■ 1% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 99% new
Of 101 current holders: 100 (99%) entered in the past year, only 1 (1%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 85% AUM from top-100 funds
85% from top-100 AUM funds
21 of 92 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 85% of total institutional value in WW. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 7.4/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
