📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added RKDA 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
18 hedge funds hold RKDA 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 — +38% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+38% 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 — 50% buying
9 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds bought or added vs 9 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 0 → 6 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 44% conviction (2yr+)
■ 11% medium
■ 44% new

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -39%, value -73%
Last quarter: funds added -39% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -73%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter
0 → 4 → 0 → 6 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 0 → 6 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

■ 33% new

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
