Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added EVUS 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
130 hedge funds hold EVUS 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 — +900% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+117 new funds entered over the past year (+900% 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 buyers than sellers — 73% buying
101 buying37 selling
Last quarter: 101 funds were net buyers (33 opened a brand new position + 68 added to an existing one). Only 37 were sellers (21 trimmed + 16 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~33 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 57 → 36 → 28 → 33. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 58% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 40% medium
■ 58% new
Only 3 funds (2%) 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 +39% but shares only +23% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +39%, but actual share count only changed +23%. 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
0 → 57 → 36 → 28 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 57 → 36 → 28 → 33. EVUS 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 — 87% of holders entered in last year
■ 2% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 87% new
Of 130 current holders: 113 (87%) entered in the past year, only 3 (2%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 65% AUM from top-100 funds
65% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 130 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 65% of total institutional value in EVUS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

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.
