📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QCOC 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
50 hedge funds hold QCOC right now — the highest count in 1.5 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 — +79% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+22 new funds entered over the past year (+79% 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 — 45% buying
15 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds reduced or exited vs 15 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 5 → 17 → 4. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
