📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DFDV positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
48 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 53 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +1100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+44 new funds entered over the past year (+1100% 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 sellers than buyers — 43% buying
29 buying38 selling
Last quarter: 38 funds reduced or exited vs 29 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 24 → 26 → 25 → 13. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 62% entered in last year
■ 12% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 62% new
Only 6 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 -17%, value -47%
Last quarter: funds added -17% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -47%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
2 → 24 → 26 → 25 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 26 → 25 → 13. DFDV is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 94% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 2% 1-2yr
■ 94% new
Of 53 current holders: 50 (94%) entered in the past year, only 2 (4%) 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 — 27% AUM from major funds
27% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 43 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 27% 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 6.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
