📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added NVCT 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
61 hedge funds hold NVCT 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 — +79% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+27 new funds entered over the past year (+79% 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 — 74% buying
37 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 37 funds were net buyers (16 opened a brand new position + 21 added to an existing one). Only 13 were sellers (9 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new NVCT position: 20 → 11 → 4 → 16. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 34% new
Of the 61 current holders: 20 (33%) held >2 years, 20 held 1–2 years, and 21 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
10 → 20 → 11 → 4 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 11 → 4 → 16. NVCT is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 43% veterans vs 39% newcomers
■ 43% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 39% new
Entry-cohort mix of 61 holders: 26 (43%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 24 (39%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
