📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added YQ 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.
📊
High ownership — 82% of 3.0Y peak
82% of all-time peak
9 funds currently hold this stock — 82% of the 3.0-year high of 11 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +12% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
3 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds sold vs only 3 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 2 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 11% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 56% medium
■ 11% new
Of the 9 current holders: 3 (33%) held >2 years, 5 held 1–2 years, and 1 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +3%, value -47%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -47%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 2 → 1 → 2. YQ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 20% veterans, 40% new entrants
■ 20% veterans
■ 40% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
Of 10 current holders: 2 (20%) held 2+ years, 4 held 1–2 years, 4 (40%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 69% AUM from top-100 funds
69% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 9 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 69% of total institutional value in YQ. 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 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
