Smart Money Signals — VIST

Based on 141 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added VIST 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 — 77% of 3.0Y peak

77% of all-time peak
141 funds currently hold this stock — 77% of the 3.0-year high of 182 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 23% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
41 fewer hedge funds hold VIST compared to a year ago (-23% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

78 buying82 selling
Last quarter: 82 funds reduced or exited vs 78 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~37 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 25 → 27 → 32 → 37. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

41% conviction (2yr+) 33% medium 26% new
58 out of 141 hedge funds have held VIST 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -0%, value -97%

Value
-96%
Shares
0%
Last quarter: funds added -0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -97%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

52 → 25 → 27 → 32 → 37 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 25 → 27 → 32 → 37. A growing number of institutions are discovering VIST each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years

46% veterans 16% 1-2yr 39% new
Of 148 current holders: 68 (46%) 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.

Strong quality — 31% AUM from major funds

31% from top-100 AUM funds
26 of 141 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 31% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
