📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added FINT 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.
📊
High ownership — 94% of 1.8Y peak
94% of all-time peak

📶
Steady growth — +7% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+7% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢

13 buying4 selling

■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 69% medium
■ 31% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 +184% but shares only +168% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +184%, but actual share count only changed +168%. 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.

Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds
53% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 16 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in FINT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
