Smart Money Signals — PTN

Based on 25 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PTN 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

25 hedge funds hold PTN 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 — +2400% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+24 new funds entered over the past year (+2400% 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 — 62% buying

16 buying10 selling

Last quarter: 16 funds were net buyers (11 opened a brand new position + 5 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (2 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 0 → 21 → 11. 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.

🔄

Mostly new holders — 92% entered in last year

■ 8% conviction (2yr+) ■ 0% medium ■ 92% new

Only 2 funds (8%) 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.

➡️

Steady discovery — ~11 new funds/quarter

0 → 0 → 0 → 21 → 11 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 0 → 21 → 11. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

🌱

Early stage — 92% of holders entered in last year

■ 8% veterans ■ 0% 1-2yr ■ 92% new

Of 25 current holders: 23 (92%) entered in the past year, only 2 (8%) 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.

✅

Strong quality — 28% AUM from major funds

28% from top-100 AUM funds

8 of 24 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 28% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

7.3

out of 10

High Exit Risk

Exit risk score 7.3/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

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.
