📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KMID 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
14 hedge funds hold KMID right now — the highest count in 1.5 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 — +56% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+56% 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 — 43% buying
6 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds reduced or exited vs 6 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 — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 2 → 4 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 43% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 57% medium
■ 43% 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 — ~3 new funds/quarter
2 → 4 → 2 → 4 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 2 → 4 → 3. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 64% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 36% 1-2yr
■ 64% new
Of 14 current holders: 9 (64%) 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 — 1% AUM from top-100
1% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 14 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 1% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
