Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SAMT 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
61 hedge funds hold SAMT 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 — +97% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+30 new funds entered over the past year (+97% 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 buyers than sellers — 79% buying
48 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 48 funds were net buyers (14 opened a brand new position + 34 added to an existing one). Only 13 were sellers (9 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~14 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 7 → 12 → 14. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 28% long-term, 44% new
■ 28% conviction (2yr+)
■ 28% medium
■ 44% new
Of the 61 current holders: 17 (28%) held >2 years, 17 held 1–2 years, and 27 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
6 → 8 → 7 → 12 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 7 → 12 → 14. A growing number of institutions are discovering SAMT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 57% of holders entered in last year
■ 30% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 57% new
Of 61 current holders: 35 (57%) entered in the past year, only 18 (30%) 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.

Smaller funds dominant — 18% AUM from top-100
18% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 61 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 18% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
