Smart Money Signals — PTGX

Based on 346 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added PTGX 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.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
346 hedge funds hold PTGX right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +26% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+72 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

209 buying134 selling
Last quarter: 209 funds were net buyers (73 opened a brand new position + 136 added to an existing one). Only 134 were sellers (92 trimmed + 42 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+21 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PTGX position: 44 → 86 → 52 → 73. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

Veteran-anchored — 48% veterans vs 35% newcomers

48% veterans 18% 1-2yr 35% new
Entry-cohort mix of 357 holders: 170 (48%) are 2+ year veterans, 63 entered 1–2 years ago, and 124 (35%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

4.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — 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.
