Let’s now take a look at hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as Klondex Mines Ltd (NYSE:KLDX) but similarly valued. We will take a look at Teladoc Inc (NYSE:TDOC), Meridian Interstate Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:EBSB), Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERII), and Raven Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAVN). This group of stocks’ market valuations are closest to KLDX’s market valuation.

As you can see these stocks had an average of 12 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $68 million. That figure was $43 million in KLDX’s case. Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERII) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Teladoc Inc (NYSE:TDOC) is the least popular one with only 6 bullish hedge fund positions. Klondex Mines Ltd (NYSE:KLDX) is not the least popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still below average. This is a slightly negative signal and we’d rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. In this regard ERII might be a better candidate to consider taking a long position in.
