📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NMAI 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
82 hedge funds hold NMAI 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 — +32% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+20 new funds entered over the past year (+32% 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 — 61% buying
48 buying31 selling
Last quarter: 48 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 31 added to an existing one). Only 31 were sellers (15 trimmed + 16 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -8%, value -96%
Last quarter: funds added -8% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -96%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
9 → 10 → 16 → 16 → 17 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 16 → 16 → 17. A growing number of institutions are discovering NMAI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
