📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their NVNIW 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 21 funds hold NVNIW today versus a peak of 32 funds at 2023 Q4 — 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.
📉
Outflows — 16% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
