📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added TOMZ 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
19 hedge funds hold TOMZ 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.
📶
Steady growth — +6% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

💰
Value +67% but shares only +14% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +67%, but actual share count only changed +14%. 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.

1 → 3 → 2 → 3 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 2 → 3 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
