📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added JKS 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 — 82% of 3.0Y peak
82% of all-time peak
116 funds currently hold this stock — 82% of the 3.0-year high of 141 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +20% more funds vs a year ago

🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
67 buying61 selling
Last quarter: 67 funds bought or added vs 61 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.

■ 22% medium

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +5%, value -29%
Last quarter: funds added +5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -29%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
15 → 33 → 26 → 19 → 30 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 33 → 26 → 19 → 30. JKS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

Veteran-anchored — 71% veterans vs 18% newcomers
■ 71% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Entry-cohort mix of 125 holders: 89 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 13 entered 1–2 years ago, and 23 (18%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds
64% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 113 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in JKS. 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 2.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
