Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CDLR 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
54 hedge funds hold CDLR 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 — +46% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+17 new funds entered over the past year (+46% 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 — 55% buying
31 buying25 selling
Last quarter: 31 funds bought or added vs 25 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~18 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 4 → 15 → 18. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 28% long-term, 48% new
■ 28% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 48% new
Of the 54 current holders: 15 (28%) held >2 years, 13 held 1–2 years, and 26 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.
💰
Value +34% but shares only +6% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +34%, but actual share count only changed +6%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
2 → 4 → 4 → 15 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 4 → 15 → 18. 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.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 31% veterans, 44% new entrants
■ 31% veterans
■ 24% 1-2yr

Of 54 current holders: 17 (31%) held 2+ years, 13 held 1–2 years, 24 (44%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
