📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NPKI 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
244 hedge funds hold NPKI 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 — +42% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+72 new funds entered over the past year (+42% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 51% buying
126 buying123 selling
Last quarter: 126 funds bought or added vs 123 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 (-11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 32 → 39 → 50 → 39. 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.
🔒
58% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 58% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 22% new
142 out of 244 hedge funds have held NPKI 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 +18% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +18%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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
25 → 32 → 39 → 50 → 39 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 39 → 50 → 39. A growing number of institutions are discovering NPKI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 66% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 66% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Of 245 current holders: 162 (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.
✅
Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
47 of 244 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
