Based on 153 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q

The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.

📊

High ownership — 92% of 3.0Y peak

92% of all-time peak

153 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 167 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📉

Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

14 fewer hedge funds hold NGVC compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

87 buying67 selling

Last quarter: 87 funds bought or added vs 67 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.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 26 → 39 → 29. 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.

🔒

50% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 50% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 27% new

77 out of 153 hedge funds have held NGVC 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 +27% but shares only +6% — price-driven

Value

+27%

+5%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +27%, but actual share count only changed +6%. 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.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

33 → 27 → 26 → 39 → 29 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 26 → 39 → 29. A growing number of institutions are discovering NGVC each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 53% veterans vs 31% newcomers

■ 53% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 31% new

Entry-cohort mix of 153 holders: 81 (53%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 48 (31%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds

64% from top-100 AUM funds

41 of 152 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in NGVC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.3

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.3/10 — 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.
