Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NUKZ 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
152 hedge funds hold NUKZ 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 — +361% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+119 new funds entered over the past year (+361% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 76% buying
108 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 108 funds were net buyers (35 opened a brand new position + 73 added to an existing one). Only 35 were sellers (21 trimmed + 14 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 38 → 43 → 44 → 35. 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.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 64% entered in last year
■ 2% conviction (2yr+)
■ 34% medium
■ 64% new
Only 3 funds (2%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~35 new funds/quarter
24 → 38 → 43 → 44 → 35 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 38 → 43 → 44 → 35. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 91% of holders entered in last year
■ 3% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 91% new
Of 158 current holders: 144 (91%) entered in the past year, only 4 (3%) 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.

Smaller funds dominant — 6% AUM from top-100
6% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 152 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 6% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
