Smart Money Signals — VRDN

Based on 215 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VRDN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
215 hedge funds hold VRDN 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 — +27% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+46 new funds entered over the past year (+27% 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 — 57% buying

145 buying109 selling
Last quarter: 145 funds bought or added vs 109 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 — ~49 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 15 → 77 → 47 → 49. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

23 → 15 → 77 → 47 → 49 new funds/Q

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 48% veterans vs 36% newcomers

■ 48% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 222 holders: 107 (48%) are 2+ year veterans, 35 entered 1–2 years ago, and 80 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

4.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — 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.
