➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
31 hedge funds hold KYNB 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +3000% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+30 new funds entered over the past year (+3000% 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 — 47% buying
16 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds reduced or exited vs 16 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 — ~10 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 4 → 5 → 10. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 42% entered in last year
■ 10% conviction (2yr+)
■ 48% medium
■ 42% new
Only 3 funds (10%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -20%, value -44%
Last quarter: funds added -20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -44%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 27 → 4 → 5 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 4 → 5 → 10. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 90% of holders entered in last year
■ 10% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 90% new
Of 31 current holders: 28 (90%) 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
8 of 30 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.

out of 10
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.
