Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KODK 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
161 hedge funds hold KODK right now — the highest count in 3.0 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.
📶
Steady growth — +8% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+8% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
96 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 96 funds bought or added vs 72 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.

26 → 19 → 30 → 43 → 41 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 19 → 30 → 43 → 41. 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.

■ 60% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 27% new
Entry-cohort mix of 167 holders: 100 (60%) are 2+ year veterans, 22 entered 1–2 years ago, and 45 (27%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 160 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in KODK. 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 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
