📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LDP 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
83 hedge funds hold LDP 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 — +11% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -20%, value -51%
Last quarter: funds added -20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -51%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

🏆
Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds
57% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 83 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in LDP. 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 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
