📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak

375 hedge funds hold NE 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.

📶

Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+52 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

191 buying196 selling

Last quarter: 196 funds reduced or exited vs 191 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.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-26 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 68 → 59 → 84 → 58. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

🔒

52% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 52% conviction (2yr+) ■ 27% medium ■ 21% new

194 out of 375 hedge funds have held NE for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.

💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +2%, value -21%

Value

-21%

+2%

Last quarter: funds added +2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -21%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

70 → 68 → 59 → 84 → 58 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 68 → 59 → 84 → 58. A growing number of institutions are discovering NE each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 57% veterans vs 29% newcomers

■ 57% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 29% new

Entry-cohort mix of 388 holders: 221 (57%) are 2+ year veterans, 53 entered 1–2 years ago, and 114 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 60% AUM from top-100 funds

60% from top-100 AUM funds

56 of 371 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 60% of total institutional value in NE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.7

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
