Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ZM 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
780 hedge funds hold ZM 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.

🏆
Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds
52% from top-100 AUM funds
44 of 780 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in ZM. 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 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
