📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added EVO 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
46 hedge funds hold EVO 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 — +92% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+22 new funds entered over the past year (+92% 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 — 48% buying
22 buying24 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds reduced or exited vs 22 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 (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 9 → 18 → 11. 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 — 39% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 39% medium
■ 39% new
Only 10 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -17%, value -33%
Last quarter: funds added -17% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -33%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
5 → 16 → 9 → 18 → 11 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 9 → 18 → 11. A growing number of institutions are discovering EVO each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 59% of holders entered in last year
■ 30% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 59% new
Of 46 current holders: 27 (59%) entered in the past year, only 14 (30%) 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 — 9% AUM from top-100
9% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 46 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 9% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
