Based on 4 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ASMLF 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 4 funds hold ASMLF today versus a peak of 6 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 67% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +33% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+33% 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 — 67% buying
2 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds were net buyers (2 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (1 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 1 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 25% long-term, 75% new
■ 25% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 75% new
Of the 4 current holders: 1 (25%) held >2 years, 0 held 1–2 years, and 3 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+37% value, -6% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional ASMLF holdings rose +37% even though funds reduced share count by 6%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~2 new funds/quarter
1 → 2 → 1 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 1 → 2. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 75% of holders entered in last year
■ 25% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 75% new
Of 4 current holders: 3 (75%) entered in the past year, only 1 (25%) 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 — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
0 of 4 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 0% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
