Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 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.

100% of all-time peak
80 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 — +38% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
