Smart Money Signals — NATI
Based on 2 hedge funds · latest filing: 2024 Q1 · updated quarterly
📉
Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row
last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NATI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 2 funds hold NATI today versus a peak of 364 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 1% 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.
📉
Outflows — 99% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
362 fewer hedge funds hold NATI compared to a year ago (-99% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying
2 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds sold vs only 2 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 57 → 24 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
119 → 57 → 24 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 57 → 24 → 1 → 2. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
1.0
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data.
"Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings.
They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
