📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added PRGS 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 — 88% of 3.0Y peak
88% of all-time peak
284 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 322 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
18 fewer hedge funds hold PRGS compared to a year ago (-6% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
153 buying161 selling
Last quarter: 161 funds reduced or exited vs 153 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PRGS position: 46 → 63 → 40 → 51. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
64% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 64% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 15% new
183 out of 284 hedge funds have held PRGS 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (-7% value, -45% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional PRGS holdings rose -7% even though funds reduced share count by 45%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
36 → 46 → 63 → 40 → 51 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 46 → 63 → 40 → 51. PRGS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 73% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Of 300 current holders: 218 (73%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds
45% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 284 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in PRGS. 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 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
