💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -9%, value -43%

■ 62% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 85 holders: 53 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 14 entered 1–2 years ago, and 18 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds
41% from top-100 AUM funds
21 of 79 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in CAN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
