📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added XDSQ 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
45 hedge funds hold XDSQ 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+8 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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 — 55% buying
22 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds bought or added vs 18 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 7 → 4 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 20% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 42% medium
■ 20% new
Of the 45 current holders: 17 (38%) held >2 years, 19 held 1–2 years, and 9 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
5 → 7 → 7 → 4 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 7 → 4 → 7. XDSQ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 44% veterans vs 33% newcomers
■ 44% veterans
■ 22% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 45 holders: 20 (44%) are 2+ year veterans, 10 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 4% AUM from top-100
4% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 45 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 4% 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.
