📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ASRT 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 47% of 3.0Y high
47% of all-time peak
Only 66 funds hold ASRT today versus a peak of 140 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 47% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding ASRT is almost the same as a year ago (-2 funds, -3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 69% buying
41 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 41 funds were net buyers (22 opened a brand new position + 19 added to an existing one). Only 18 were sellers (10 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

■ 53% conviction (2yr+)
■ 14% medium
■ 33% new
35 out of 66 hedge funds have held ASRT 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 +177% but shares only +32% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +177%, but actual share count only changed +32%. 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
3 → 8 → 7 → 8 → 22 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 7 → 8 → 22. 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 — 62% veterans vs 28% newcomers
■ 62% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 68 holders: 42 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 7 entered 1–2 years ago, and 19 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 13% AUM from top-100
13% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 65 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 13% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 1.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
