Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AVTX 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
100 hedge funds hold AVTX 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 — +212% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+68 new funds entered over the past year (+212% 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 — 61% buying
64 buying41 selling
Last quarter: 64 funds were net buyers (33 opened a brand new position + 31 added to an existing one). Only 41 were sellers (23 trimmed + 18 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~33 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 32 → 33 → 33. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 66% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 66% new
Only 12 funds (12%) 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 +69%, value +30%
Last quarter: funds added +69% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +30%. 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
4 → 4 → 32 → 33 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 32 → 33 → 33. 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 — 70% of holders entered in last year
■ 8% veterans
■ 22% 1-2yr
■ 70% new
Of 109 current holders: 76 (70%) entered in the past year, only 9 (8%) 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 — 26% AUM from major funds
26% from top-100 AUM funds
21 of 96 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 26% 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 6.7/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
