📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added HCKT 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 — 85% of 3.0Y peak
85% of all-time peak
168 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 198 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
30 fewer hedge funds hold HCKT compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
97 buying75 selling
Last quarter: 97 funds bought or added vs 75 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+25 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new HCKT position: 13 → 13 → 19 → 44. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 58% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 24% new
98 out of 168 hedge funds have held HCKT 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +2%, value -33%
Last quarter: funds added +2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -33%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
24 → 13 → 13 → 19 → 44 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 13 → 19 → 44. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 61% veterans vs 28% newcomers
■ 61% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 169 holders: 103 (61%) are 2+ year veterans, 19 entered 1–2 years ago, and 47 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 168 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
