📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NVDS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 50% of 3.0Y high
50% of all-time peak
Only 8 funds hold NVDS today versus a peak of 16 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 50% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 11% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold NVDS compared to a year ago (-11% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

Price up while funds trimmed (-27% value, -71% shares)
