📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AMCX 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 — 92% of 3.0Y peak
92% of all-time peak
182 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 198 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +6% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+6% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
96 buying80 selling
Last quarter: 96 funds bought or added vs 80 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 25 → 32 → 26. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -2%, value -32%
Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -32%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 25 → 32 → 26. A growing number of institutions are discovering AMCX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

■ 70% veterans
■ 14% 1-2yr
■ 15% new
Entry-cohort mix of 188 holders: 132 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 27 entered 1–2 years ago, and 29 (15%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 38% AUM from major funds
38% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 181 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
