33% of all-time peak
Only 9 funds hold NPACU today versus a peak of 27 funds at 2025 Q2 — just 33% 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.

📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
2 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 2. NPACU is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 9 current holders: 9 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
