Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added DBO 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.
📊
High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak
85% of all-time peak
62 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 73 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +11% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+11% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
39 buying26 selling
Last quarter: 39 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 19 added to an existing one). Only 26 were sellers (16 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new DBO position: 7 → 10 → 11 → 20. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 18% medium
■ 26% new
35 out of 62 hedge funds have held DBO 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.
💰
Value +164% but shares only +66% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +164%, but actual share count only changed +66%. 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
10 → 7 → 10 → 11 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 10 → 11 → 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 — 68% veterans vs 26% newcomers
■ 68% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 68 holders: 46 (68%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 18 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 48% AUM from top-100 funds
48% from top-100 AUM funds
13 of 61 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in DBO. 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 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
