Smart Money Signals — NUSC

Based on 244 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NUSC 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

244 hedge funds hold NUSC 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 NUSC is almost the same as a year ago (-4 funds, -2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

110 buying118 selling

Last quarter: 118 funds reduced or exited vs 110 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 (+11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new NUSC position: 18 → 14 → 20 → 31. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

■ 63% conviction (2yr+) ■ 23% medium ■ 14% new

154 out of 244 hedge funds have held NUSC 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

34 → 18 → 14 → 20 → 31 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 14 → 20 → 31. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 62% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 62% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 23% new

Of 244 current holders: 151 (62%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

🏆

Elite ownership — 46% AUM from top-100 funds

46% from top-100 AUM funds

16 of 244 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in NUSC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.3

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.
