Smart Money Signals — PNOV

Based on 209 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PNOV positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 94% of 3.0Y peak

94% of all-time peak
209 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 223 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +19% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+34 new funds entered over the past year (+19% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 27% buying

45 buying122 selling
Last quarter: 122 funds sold vs only 45 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-46 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 9 → 61 → 15. 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.
🔒

52% of holders stayed for 2+ years

52% conviction (2yr+) 23% medium 25% new
108 out of 209 hedge funds have held PNOV 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

18 → 16 → 9 → 61 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 9 → 61 → 15. A growing number of institutions are discovering PNOV each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 55% veterans vs 29% newcomers

55% veterans 16% 1-2yr 29% new
Entry-cohort mix of 209 holders: 114 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 34 entered 1–2 years ago, and 61 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 39% AUM from major funds

39% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 208 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 39% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.9
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
