📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added NVVE 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 — 74% of 1.8Y peak
74% of all-time peak
17 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 1.8-year high of 23 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 2 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
9 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds bought or added vs 7 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 7 → 7 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 59% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 41% medium
■ 59% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 +67%, value -75%
Last quarter: funds added +67% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -75%. 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
7 → 13 → 7 → 7 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 7 → 7 → 6. NVVE is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 71% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 29% 1-2yr
■ 71% new
Of 17 current holders: 12 (71%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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 — 73% AUM from top-100 funds
73% from top-100 AUM funds
7 of 17 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 73% of total institutional value in NVVE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
