📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VRAX positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 43% of 2.5Y high
43% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold VRAX today versus a peak of 7 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 43% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold VRAX compared to a year ago (-25% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
2 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds reduced or exited vs 2 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 — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 3 → 2 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 100% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 100% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +2531%, value +1574%
Last quarter: funds added +2531% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +1574%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~2 new funds/quarter
3 → 1 → 3 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 3 → 2 → 2. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 67% of holders entered in last year
■ 33% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 67% new
Of 3 current holders: 2 (67%) entered in the past year, only 1 (33%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
0 of 3 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 0% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
