📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added NULC 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
23 hedge funds hold NULC 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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. The peak was reached in just 1 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 68% buying
13 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds were net buyers (9 opened a brand new position + 4 added to an existing one). Only 6 were sellers (5 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new NULC position: 1 → 4 → 2 → 9. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
57% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 57% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 26% new
13 out of 23 hedge funds have held NULC 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 +120% but shares only +94% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +120%, but actual share count only changed +94%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter
4 → 1 → 4 → 2 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 4 → 2 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 70% veterans vs 30% newcomers
■ 70% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 30% new
Entry-cohort mix of 23 holders: 16 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 0 entered 1–2 years ago, and 7 (30%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 16% AUM from top-100
16% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 23 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 16% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
