Based on 6 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly
📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VBIAX 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 — 75% of 3.0Y peak
75% of all-time peak
6 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 8 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +50% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+2 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
4 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds bought or added vs 4 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 4 → 4 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 67% entered in last year
■ 17% conviction (2yr+)
■ 17% medium
■ 67% new
Only 1 funds (17%) 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 — ~1 new funds/quarter
2 → 1 → 4 → 4 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 4 → 4 → 1. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 67% of holders entered in last year
■ 17% veterans
■ 17% 1-2yr
■ 67% new
Of 6 current holders: 4 (67%) entered in the past year, only 1 (17%) 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.
