Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ZBIO 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
122 hedge funds hold ZBIO 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 — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+61 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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 — 75% buying
89 buying30 selling
Last quarter: 89 funds were net buyers (52 opened a brand new position + 37 added to an existing one). Only 30 were sellers (24 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+41 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ZBIO position: 13 → 11 → 11 → 52. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 49% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 48% medium
■ 49% new
Only 3 funds (2%) 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.
💰
Value +97% but shares only +21% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +97%, but actual share count only changed +21%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
33 → 13 → 11 → 11 → 52 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 11 → 11 → 52. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 71% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 24% 1-2yr
■ 71% new
Of 131 current holders: 93 (71%) entered in the past year, only 7 (5%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 30% AUM from major funds
30% from top-100 AUM funds
25 of 122 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 30% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
