Based on 3 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 50% of 3.0Y high
50% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 6 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 50% 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 — 40% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-40% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
2 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds bought or added vs 2 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 0 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
67% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 67% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 33% new
2 out of 3 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+14% value, -5% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional NCPLW holdings rose +14% even though funds reduced share count by 5%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~2 new funds/quarter
1 → 0 → 0 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 0 → 1 → 2. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

■ 67% veterans
■ 33% 1-2yr
■ 0% new
Of 3 current holders: 2 (67%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 33% from major AUM funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 3 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
