Based on 3 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 60% of 3.0Y high
60% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold PONAX today versus a peak of 5 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 60% 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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. The peak was reached in just 2 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
1 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 1 funds bought or added vs 1 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.
➡️
