📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ZIP 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 — 92% of 3.0Y peak

92% of all-time peak

138 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 150 funds (reached 2024 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📶

Steady growth — +5% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+7 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 63% buying

83 buying48 selling

Last quarter: 83 funds were net buyers (22 opened a brand new position + 61 added to an existing one). Only 48 were sellers (33 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 37 → 28 → 31 → 22. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 53% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 25% new

73 out of 138 hedge funds have held ZIP 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.

💰

Value +105% but shares only +1% — price-driven

Value

+105%

+1%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +105%, but actual share count only changed +1%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

19 → 37 → 28 → 31 → 22 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 37 → 28 → 31 → 22. ZIP is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 62% veterans vs 26% newcomers

■ 62% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 26% new

Entry-cohort mix of 141 holders: 88 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 37 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 49% AUM from top-100 funds

49% from top-100 AUM funds

38 of 137 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in ZIP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.2

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.2/10 — 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.
