📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added QHDG 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 — 88% of 2.0Y peak
88% of all-time peak
7 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 2.0-year high of 8 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 12% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold QHDG compared to a year ago (-12% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
3 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds were net buyers (3 opened a brand new position + 0 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (2 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter

🔄

■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 86% medium
■ 14% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
💰
Value +174% but shares only +157% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +174%, but actual share count only changed +157%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~3 new funds/quarter
4 → 1 → 1 → 0 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 1 → 0 → 3. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 57% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 43% 1-2yr
■ 57% new
Of 7 current holders: 4 (57%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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.
