Smart Money Signals — VICR

Based on 366 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VICR 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

366 hedge funds hold VICR 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 — +70% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+151 new funds entered over the past year (+70% 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

227 buying144 selling

Last quarter: 227 funds were net buyers (107 opened a brand new position + 120 added to an existing one). Only 144 were sellers (112 trimmed + 32 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

➡️

Steady new buyers — ~107 new funds per quarter

Price up while funds trimmed (+25% value, -6% shares)

Value

+25%

-5%

Last quarter: total value of institutional VICR holdings rose +25% even though funds reduced share count by 6%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

42 → 32 → 41 → 107 → 107 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 41 → 107 → 107. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 59% veterans vs 36% newcomers

■ 59% veterans ■ 5% 1-2yr ■ 36% new

Entry-cohort mix of 383 holders: 226 (59%) are 2+ year veterans, 21 entered 1–2 years ago, and 136 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 40% AUM from top-100 funds

40% from top-100 AUM funds

54 of 364 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 40% of total institutional value in VICR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 5.1/10 — 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.
