📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NEON positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 83% of 3.0Y peak
83% of all-time peak
50 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 60 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+25% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
28 buying42 selling
Last quarter: 42 funds reduced or exited vs 28 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -38%, value -59%
Last quarter: funds added -38% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -59%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

72% from top-100 AUM funds
20 of 50 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 72% of total institutional value in NEON. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
