Based on 12 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
12 hedge funds hold YB right now — the highest count in 1.5 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 — +1100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+11 new funds entered over the past year (+1100% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 44% buying
7 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds reduced or exited vs 7 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 — ~5 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 9 → 7 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 92% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 8% medium
■ 92% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter
0 → 0 → 9 → 7 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 9 → 7 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 92% of holders entered in last year
■ 8% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 92% new
Of 12 current holders: 11 (92%) entered in the past year, only 1 (8%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 4% AUM from top-100
4% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 12 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 7.6/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Selling pressure exceeds buying: only 44% of active funds buying. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
