Based on 6 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added DC/WS 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 — 86% of 3.0Y peak
86% of all-time peak
6 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 7 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 14% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold DC/WS compared to a year ago (-14% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 75% buying
3 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (1 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 1 → 0 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 50% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 50% new
Of the 6 current holders: 2 (33%) held >2 years, 1 held 1–2 years, and 3 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 +116% but shares only +48% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +116%, but actual share count only changed +48%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~3 new funds/quarter
2 → 0 → 1 → 0 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 1 → 0 → 3. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 67% of holders entered in last year
■ 17% veterans
■ 17% 1-2yr
■ 67% new
Of 6 current holders: 4 (67%) entered in the past year, only 1 (17%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 6 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 0% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
