Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NAGE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 84% of 3.0Y peak
84% of all-time peak
139 funds currently hold this stock — 84% of the 3.0-year high of 166 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 10% fewer funds vs a year ago

16 fewer hedge funds hold NAGE compared to a year ago (-10% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 42% buying
65 buying91 selling
Last quarter: 91 funds reduced or exited vs 65 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -13%, value -38%
Last quarter: funds added -13% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -38%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
37 → 32 → 35 → 24 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 35 → 24 → 26. NAGE is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

Veteran-anchored — 56% veterans vs 30% newcomers
■ 56% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 30% new
Entry-cohort mix of 142 holders: 79 (56%) are 2+ year veterans, 21 entered 1–2 years ago, and 42 (30%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 51% AUM from top-100 funds
51% from top-100 AUM funds
42 of 138 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 51% of total institutional value in NAGE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
