Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NAMS 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
177 hedge funds hold NAMS right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +40% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+51 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 64% buying
111 buying63 selling
Last quarter: 111 funds were net buyers (56 opened a brand new position + 55 added to an existing one). Only 63 were sellers (51 trimmed + 12 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+35 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new NAMS position: 24 → 24 → 21 → 56. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 37% entered in last year
■ 20% conviction (2yr+)
■ 43% medium
■ 37% new
Only 35 funds (20%) 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+20% value, -3% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional NAMS holdings rose +20% even though funds reduced share count by 3%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
41 → 24 → 24 → 21 → 56 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 24 → 21 → 56. 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.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 19% veterans, 52% new entrants
■ 19% veterans
■ 29% 1-2yr
■ 52% new
Of 185 current holders: 35 (19%) held 2+ years, 53 held 1–2 years, 97 (52%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Strong quality — 32% AUM from major funds
32% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 177 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 32% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
