📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added FTKI 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
8 hedge funds hold FTKI right now — the highest count in 1.2 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 — +300% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 5Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+300% 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. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 89% buying
8 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds were net buyers (7 opened a brand new position + 1 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (0 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new FTKI position: 0 → 2 → 1 → 7. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 88% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 12% medium
■ 88% 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
0 → 2 → 1 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 2 → 1 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 8 current holders: 8 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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 — 4% AUM from top-100
4% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 8 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 4% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 7.2/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
