📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ARQQ positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
58 hedge funds hold ARQQ 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 — +76% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+76% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
30 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 30 funds bought or added vs 27 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 (-12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 21 → 22 → 10. 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.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 47% entered in last year
■ 9% conviction (2yr+)
■ 45% medium
■ 47% new
Only 5 funds (9%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +5%, value -57%
Last quarter: funds added +5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -57%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~10 new funds/quarter
16 → 16 → 21 → 22 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 21 → 22 → 10. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 60% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 35% 1-2yr
■ 60% new
Of 62 current holders: 37 (60%) entered in the past year, only 3 (5%) 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 — 12% AUM from top-100
12% from top-100 AUM funds
13 of 55 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 12% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.7/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
