📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FAN 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
111 hedge funds hold FAN 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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 — 46% buying
35 buying41 selling
Last quarter: 41 funds reduced or exited vs 35 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 (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 10 → 20 → 14. 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.
🔒
60% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 19% new
67 out of 111 hedge funds have held FAN for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +24% but shares only +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +24%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
8 → 13 → 10 → 20 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 10 → 20 → 14. A growing number of institutions are discovering FAN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 111 current holders: 74 (67%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds
64% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 111 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in FAN. 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 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
