Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added XME 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
366 hedge funds hold XME 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 — +40% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+104 new funds entered over the past year (+40% 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 — 58% buying
220 buying159 selling
Last quarter: 220 funds bought or added vs 159 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+26 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
49 → 41 → 47 → 79 → 105 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 41 → 47 → 79 → 105. 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.

■ 63% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 27% new

41% from top-100 AUM funds
