📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ASYS 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
78 hedge funds hold ASYS 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 — +111% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+41 new funds entered over the past year (+111% 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 — 62% buying
49 buying30 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 30 were sellers (22 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~20 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 24 → 25 → 20. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
49% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 49% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 29% new
38 out of 78 hedge funds have held ASYS for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +20%, value +4%
Last quarter: funds added +20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +4%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
6 → 4 → 24 → 25 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 24 → 25 → 20. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 25% newcomers
■ 69% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 81 holders: 56 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 20 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds
35% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 78 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% 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 5.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
