📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WHWK 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
76 hedge funds hold WHWK 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 — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 72% buying
58 buying23 selling
Last quarter: 58 funds were net buyers (29 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 23 were sellers (9 trimmed + 14 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new WHWK position: 4 → 12 → 21 → 29. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
49% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 49% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 30% new
37 out of 76 hedge funds have held WHWK 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 +65% but shares only +26% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +65%, but actual share count only changed +26%. 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
2 → 4 → 12 → 21 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 12 → 21 → 29. 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 — 61% veterans vs 26% newcomers
■ 61% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 76 holders: 46 (61%) are 2+ year veterans, 10 entered 1–2 years ago, and 20 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
