Smart Money Signals — NFE

Based on 150 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NFE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 57% of 3.0Y high

57% of all-time peak
Only 150 funds hold NFE today versus a peak of 264 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 57% 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 — 35% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
80 fewer hedge funds hold NFE compared to a year ago (-35% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 37% buying

72 buying123 selling
Last quarter: 123 funds sold vs only 72 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 38 → 43 → 41 → 31. 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.
🔒

49% of holders stayed for 2+ years

49% conviction (2yr+) 21% medium 30% new
73 out of 150 hedge funds have held NFE 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 -19%, value -42%

Value
-42%
Shares
-18%
Last quarter: funds added -19% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -42%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~31 new funds/quarter

42 → 38 → 43 → 41 → 31 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 38 → 43 → 41 → 31. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 57% veterans vs 29% newcomers

57% veterans 14% 1-2yr 29% new
Entry-cohort mix of 161 holders: 91 (57%) are 2+ year veterans, 23 entered 1–2 years ago, and 47 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 28% AUM from major funds

28% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 147 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 28% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — 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.
