Based on 7 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
📊
High ownership — 78% of 3.0Y peak
78% of all-time peak
7 funds currently hold this stock — 78% of the 3.0-year high of 9 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +40% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+40% 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.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
3 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds sold vs only 3 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 4 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

■ 86% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 14% new
6 out of 7 hedge funds have held YCS 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+42% value, -12% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional YCS holdings rose +42% even though funds reduced share count by 12%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 5 → 4 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 4 → 1 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 89% veterans vs 11% newcomers
■ 89% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 11% new
Entry-cohort mix of 9 holders: 8 (89%) are 2+ year veterans, 0 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (11%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 22% AUM from major funds
22% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 7 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 22% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
