Smart Money Signals — NEA

Based on 254 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
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.
📊

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
254 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 280 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
22 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

123 buying98 selling
Last quarter: 123 funds bought or added vs 98 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 32 → 22 → 17 → 30. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
🔒

70% of holders stayed for 2+ years

70% conviction (2yr+) 19% medium 11% new
178 out of 254 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -97%

Value
-97%
Shares
-6%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -97%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~30 new funds/quarter

38 → 32 → 22 → 17 → 30 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 22 → 17 → 30. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 71% of holders stayed 2+ years

71% veterans 13% 1-2yr 16% new
Of 254 current holders: 181 (71%) 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.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 7% top-100 AUM

7% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 17 of 254 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
