Smart Money Signals — ASTI

Based on 15 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 5Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
15 hedge funds hold this stock right now — the highest count in 1.5 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +67% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+67% 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 2 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 68% buying

13 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds were net buyers (9 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 6 were sellers (1 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 2 → 7 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 67% entered in last year

0% conviction (2yr+) 33% medium 67% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰

Value +168% but shares only +28% — price-driven

Value
+167%
Shares
+27%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +168%, but actual share count only changed +28%. 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

3 → 3 → 2 → 7 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 2 → 7 → 9. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🌱

Early stage — 73% of holders entered in last year

0% veterans 27% 1-2yr 73% new
Of 15 current holders: 11 (73%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆

Elite ownership — 40% from top-100 AUM funds

40% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 15 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
6.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
