Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row
For 8 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AMPX 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
248 hedge funds hold AMPX 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 — +151% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+149 new funds entered over the past year (+151% 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 — 65% buying
179 buying96 selling
Last quarter: 179 funds were net buyers (83 opened a brand new position + 96 added to an existing one). Only 96 were sellers (58 trimmed + 38 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+35 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new AMPX position: 39 → 87 → 48 → 83. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 58% entered in last year
■ 14% conviction (2yr+)
■ 28% medium
■ 58% new
Only 34 funds (14%) 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 +177% but shares only +33% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +177%, but actual share count only changed +33%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~83 new funds/quarter
29 → 39 → 87 → 48 → 83 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 39 → 87 → 48 → 83. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 66% of holders entered in last year
■ 22% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 66% new
Of 265 current holders: 175 (66%) entered in the past year, only 58 (22%) 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 — 38% AUM from major funds
38% from top-100 AUM funds
45 of 242 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.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.8/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
