📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NVA 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
35 hedge funds hold NVA 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 — +483% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+29 new funds entered over the past year (+483% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
22 buying17 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds bought or added vs 17 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 (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 5 → 21 → 14. 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 — 74% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 74% new
Only 1 funds (3%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +14%, value -93%
Last quarter: funds added +14% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -93%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
1 → 4 → 5 → 21 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 5 → 21 → 14. A growing number of institutions are discovering NVA each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 79% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 79% new
Of 39 current holders: 31 (79%) entered in the past year, only 2 (5%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 62% AUM from top-100 funds
62% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 32 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 62% of total institutional value in NVA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
