📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added EADSY 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 — 74% of 3.0Y peak
74% of all-time peak
28 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 3.0-year high of 38 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 12% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold EADSY compared to a year ago (-12% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

18 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 10 added to an existing one). Only 11 were sellers (5 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💰
Value +47% but shares only +18% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +47%, but actual share count only changed +18%. 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
7 → 10 → 7 → 3 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 7 → 3 → 8. EADSY is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
