📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NKGNW 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 6% of 1.8Y high
6% of all-time peak
Only 2 funds hold NKGNW today versus a peak of 31 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 6% 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 — 94% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
29 fewer hedge funds hold NKGNW compared to a year ago (-94% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 0% buying
0 buying26 selling

Steady new buyers — ~0 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 1 → 2 → 0. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -75%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added -75% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
5 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 2 → 0. NKGNW is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
