📈
Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ZVIA 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
107 hedge funds hold ZVIA 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 — +70% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+44 new funds entered over the past year (+70% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 65% buying
71 buying39 selling
Last quarter: 71 funds were net buyers (28 opened a brand new position + 43 added to an existing one). Only 39 were sellers (22 trimmed + 17 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ZVIA position: 30 → 43 → 19 → 28. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 41% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 33% new
44 out of 107 hedge funds have held ZVIA 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +17%, value -0%
Last quarter: funds added +17% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -0%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
29 → 30 → 43 → 19 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 30 → 43 → 19 → 28. ZVIA is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 53% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 53% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Of 110 current holders: 58 (53%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
