📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NVDQ 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.
📊
High ownership — 81% of 3.0Y peak
81% of all-time peak
13 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 16 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold NVDQ compared to a year ago (-19% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 69% buying
11 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 11 funds were net buyers (4 opened a brand new position + 7 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (3 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

■ 54% conviction (2yr+)
■ 31% medium
■ 15% new
7 out of 13 hedge funds have held NVDQ 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +169%, value +83%
Last quarter: funds added +169% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +83%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
8 → 5 → 6 → 3 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 6 → 3 → 4. NVDQ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 53% veterans vs 7% newcomers
■ 53% veterans
■ 40% 1-2yr
■ 7% new
Entry-cohort mix of 15 holders: 8 (53%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (7%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 12 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
