Smart Money Signals — NPFD

Based on 51 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NPFD positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
51 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 56 funds (reached 2026 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +21% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying

19 buying30 selling
Last quarter: 30 funds sold vs only 19 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 8 → 14 → 6. 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.
🔒

45% of holders stayed for 2+ years

45% conviction (2yr+) 25% medium 29% new
23 out of 51 hedge funds have held NPFD 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 — ~6 new funds/quarter

7 → 6 → 8 → 14 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 8 → 14 → 6. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 47% veterans vs 41% newcomers

47% veterans 12% 1-2yr 41% new
Entry-cohort mix of 51 holders: 24 (47%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 21 (41%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 76% AUM from top-100 funds

76% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 51 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 76% of total institutional value in NPFD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
