Smart Money Signals — NOV

Based on 410 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 NOV 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 (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
410 hedge funds hold NOV 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.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding NOV is almost the same as a year ago (+3 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

205 buying216 selling
Last quarter: 216 funds reduced or exited vs 205 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new NOV position: 74 → 66 → 65 → 77. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

68% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 68% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 15% new
278 out of 410 hedge funds have held NOV 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.

Price up while funds trimmed (+11% value, -5% shares)

Value
+10%
Shares
-4%

72 → 74 → 66 → 65 → 77 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 74 → 66 → 65 → 77. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

■ 74% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 17% new

✅

Strong quality — 34% AUM from major funds

34% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 410 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 34% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — 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.
