Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FDVV 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
488 hedge funds hold FDVV 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 — +45% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+152 new funds entered over the past year (+45% 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 — 69% buying
327 buying149 selling
Last quarter: 327 funds were net buyers (78 opened a brand new position + 249 added to an existing one). Only 149 were sellers (111 trimmed + 38 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
