📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added STK 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
102 hedge funds hold STK 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 — +70% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+42 new funds entered over the past year (+70% 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 — 62% buying
53 buying33 selling
Last quarter: 53 funds were net buyers (28 opened a brand new position + 25 added to an existing one). Only 33 were sellers (27 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new STK position: 10 → 14 → 15 → 28. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
45% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 45% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 30% new
46 out of 102 hedge funds have held STK for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +56% but shares only +10% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +56%, but actual share count only changed +10%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
8 → 10 → 14 → 15 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 14 → 15 → 28. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 51% veterans vs 36% newcomers
■ 51% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 102 holders: 52 (51%) are 2+ year veterans, 13 entered 1–2 years ago, and 37 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 51% AUM from top-100 funds
51% from top-100 AUM funds
13 of 102 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 51% of total institutional value in STK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

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.
