📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ANL 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
26 hedge funds hold ANL right now — the highest count in 2.8 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 — +550% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+22 new funds entered over the past year (+550% 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 — 93% buying
25 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 25 funds were net buyers (23 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (1 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+21 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ANL position: 2 → 1 → 2 → 23. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 88% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 12% medium
■ 88% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 +100165% but shares only +20651% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +100165%, but actual share count only changed +20651%. 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
1 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 2 → 23. 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 — 88% of holders entered in last year
■ 12% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 88% new
Of 26 current holders: 23 (88%) entered in the past year, only 3 (12%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 8% AUM from top-100
8% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 26 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 8% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.2/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
