📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
123 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
📶
Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+16 new funds entered over the past year (+15% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
73 buying50 selling
Last quarter: 73 funds bought or added vs 50 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+20 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 14 → 11 → 20 → 40. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔒
67% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 67% conviction (2yr+)
■ 14% medium
■ 20% new
82 out of 123 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Value +34% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +34%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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
9 → 14 → 11 → 20 → 40 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 11 → 20 → 40. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 80% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 80% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 14% new
Of 124 current holders: 99 (80%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 20% from major AUM funds
20% from top-100 AUM funds
25 of 123 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
