📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NVDU positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 66% of 3.0Y high
66% of all-time peak
Only 31 funds hold NVDU today versus a peak of 47 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 66% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding NVDU is almost the same as a year ago (+1 funds, +3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 42% buying
20 buying28 selling
Last quarter: 28 funds reduced or exited vs 20 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 14 → 13 → 8 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 32% entered in last year
■ 13% conviction (2yr+)
■ 55% medium
■ 32% new
Only 4 funds (13%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +3%, value -16%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -16%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
10 → 14 → 13 → 8 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 13 → 8 → 7. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 13% veterans, 41% new entrants
■ 13% veterans
■ 46% 1-2yr
■ 41% new
Of 39 current holders: 5 (13%) held 2+ years, 18 held 1–2 years, 16 (41%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 58% AUM from top-100 funds
58% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 31 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 58% of total institutional value in NVDU. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
