📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WTM 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
363 hedge funds hold WTM 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 — +15% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+46 new funds entered over the past year (+15% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 53% buying
165 buying144 selling
Last quarter: 165 funds bought or added vs 144 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 33 → 45 → 58 → 47. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

■ 14% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 363 holders: 241 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 51 entered 1–2 years ago, and 71 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
52 of 363 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
