Smart Money Signals — NSA

Based on 339 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NSA 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 (96% of max)

96% of all-time peak

339 hedge funds hold NSA 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 NSA is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

181 buying155 selling

Last quarter: 181 funds bought or added vs 155 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-19 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 37 → 51 → 74 → 55. 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.

🔒

60% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 60% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 22% new

204 out of 339 hedge funds have held NSA 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.

💰

Value +22% but shares only +5% — price-driven

Value

+22%

+4%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +22%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

67 → 37 → 51 → 74 → 55 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 37 → 51 → 74 → 55. A growing number of institutions are discovering NSA each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 65% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 24% new

Entry-cohort mix of 343 holders: 222 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 38 entered 1–2 years ago, and 83 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 63% AUM from top-100 funds

63% from top-100 AUM funds

61 of 337 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 63% of total institutional value in NSA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.4

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.4/10 — 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.
