Smart Money Signals — ZAPR

Based on 43 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 3Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ZAPR 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 (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
43 hedge funds hold ZAPR right now — the highest count in 1.0 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.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

18 buying21 selling
Last quarter: 21 funds reduced or exited vs 18 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 — ~6 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 8 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 35% entered in last year

0% conviction (2yr+) 65% medium 35% 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~6 new funds/quarter

7 → 8 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 8 → 6. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱

Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year

0% veterans 0% 1-2yr 100% new
Of 43 current holders: 43 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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 — 2% AUM from top-100

2% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 43 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 2% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
4.3
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — 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.
