📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added PHUN 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.
📊
High ownership — 94% of 2.5Y peak
94% of all-time peak
34 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 2.5-year high of 36 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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. The peak was reached in just 2 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 63% buying
17 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 17 funds were net buyers (7 opened a brand new position + 10 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (7 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 12 → 7 → 6 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 32% long-term, 29% new
■ 32% conviction (2yr+)
■ 38% medium
■ 29% new
Of the 34 current holders: 11 (32%) held >2 years, 13 held 1–2 years, and 10 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Value +23% but shares only +6% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +23%, but actual share count only changed +6%. 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
4 → 12 → 7 → 6 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 7 → 6 → 7. PHUN is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 34% veterans, 34% new entrants
■ 34% veterans
■ 31% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 35 current holders: 12 (34%) held 2+ years, 11 held 1–2 years, 12 (34%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds
57% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 33 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in PHUN. 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 3.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
