Smart Money Signals — NCI

Based on 139 hedge funds · latest filing: 2019 Q3 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added NCI 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.
📊

High ownership — 88% of 3.0Y peak

88% of all-time peak
139 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 158 funds (reached 2016 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
14 fewer hedge funds hold NCI compared to a year ago (-9% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

63 buying93 selling
Last quarter: 93 funds reduced or exited vs 63 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+18 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new NCI position: 27 → 18 → 17 → 35. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+12% value, -6% shares)

Value
+11%
Shares
-5%
Last quarter: total value of institutional NCI holdings rose +12% even though funds reduced share count by 6%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

20 → 27 → 18 → 17 → 35 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 18 → 17 → 35. A growing number of institutions are discovering NCI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — 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.
