📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ELPC 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
126 hedge funds hold ELPC 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 — +250% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+90 new funds entered over the past year (+250% 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 — 52% buying
65 buying59 selling
Last quarter: 65 funds bought or added vs 59 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-53 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 2 → 76 → 23. 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 — 63% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 15% medium
■ 63% new
Only 28 funds (22%) 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.
💰
Value +42% but shares only +13% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +42%, but actual share count only changed +13%. 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
4 → 11 → 2 → 76 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 2 → 76 → 23. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 63% of holders entered in last year
■ 29% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 63% new
Of 126 current holders: 79 (63%) entered in the past year, only 37 (29%) 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 — 19% AUM from top-100
19% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 126 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 19% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
