📈
Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IBIC 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
29 hedge funds hold IBIC right now — the highest count in 2.8 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 — +71% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+71% 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 — 44% buying
11 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds reduced or exited vs 11 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 5 → 6 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 45% entered in last year
■ 14% conviction (2yr+)
■ 41% medium
■ 45% new
Only 4 funds (14%) 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
6 → 6 → 5 → 6 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 5 → 6 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 66% of holders entered in last year
■ 10% veterans
■ 24% 1-2yr
■ 66% new
Of 29 current holders: 19 (66%) entered in the past year, only 3 (10%) 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 — 11% AUM from top-100
11% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 29 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 11% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
