Smart Money Signals — ZLAB

Based on 100 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ZLAB 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 63% of 3.0Y high

63% of all-time peak
Only 100 funds hold ZLAB today versus a peak of 159 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 63% 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 — 37% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
59 fewer hedge funds hold ZLAB compared to a year ago (-37% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 36% buying

49 buying86 selling
Last quarter: 86 funds sold vs only 49 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

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

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 34 → 20 → 29 → 20. 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.
🔒

61% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 19% new
61 out of 100 hedge funds have held ZLAB 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~20 new funds/quarter

46 → 34 → 20 → 29 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 34 → 20 → 29 → 20. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 68% veterans vs 19% newcomers

■ 68% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 106 holders: 72 (68%) are 2+ year veterans, 14 entered 1–2 years ago, and 20 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 22% AUM from major funds

22% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 100 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 22% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.3/10 — 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.
