📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ONTO 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
572 hedge funds hold ONTO 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+107 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
334 buying232 selling
Last quarter: 334 funds bought or added vs 232 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+27 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ONTO position: 88 → 107 → 106 → 133. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
48% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 48% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 29% new
276 out of 572 hedge funds have held ONTO for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +23% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +23%, but actual share count only changed +1%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
72 → 88 → 107 → 106 → 133 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 88 → 107 → 106 → 133. A growing number of institutions are discovering ONTO each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 55% veterans vs 29% newcomers
■ 55% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 29% new
Entry-cohort mix of 586 holders: 323 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 92 entered 1–2 years ago, and 171 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 50% AUM from top-100 funds
50% from top-100 AUM funds
62 of 569 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in ONTO. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
