📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NMAI 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 momentum flip.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
78 hedge funds hold NMAI 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +24% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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.
🟢

42 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 42 funds were net buyers (16 opened a brand new position + 26 added to an existing one). Only 27 were sellers (20 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -4%, value -43%
Last quarter: funds added -4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -43%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
12 → 8 → 9 → 13 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 9 → 13 → 16. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

■ 62% veterans
■ 3% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Of 78 current holders: 48 (62%) 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.
