📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added YDEC 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
53 hedge funds hold YDEC 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 — +32% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+13 new funds entered over the past year (+32% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 68% buying
32 buying15 selling
Last quarter: 32 funds were net buyers (16 opened a brand new position + 16 added to an existing one). Only 15 were sellers (8 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new YDEC position: 4 → 11 → 9 → 16. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
