Smart Money Signals — NPK

Based on 162 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

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

At the ownership peak (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
162 hedge funds hold NPK 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.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding NPK is almost the same as a year ago (+1 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

65 buying83 selling
Last quarter: 83 funds reduced or exited vs 65 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 22 → 26 → 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.
🔒

60% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 60% conviction (2yr+) ■ 21% medium ■ 19% new
98 out of 162 hedge funds have held NPK 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

31 → 21 → 22 → 26 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 22 → 26 → 20. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 66% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 66% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 25% new
Of 162 current holders: 107 (66%) 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.
🏆

46% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 162 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in NPK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.7
out of 10

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.
