Smart Money Signals — NWL

Based on 417 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

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

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
417 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 456 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

237 buying178 selling
Last quarter: 237 funds bought or added vs 178 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 (-48 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 73 → 56 → 101 → 53. 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.
🔒

68% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 68% conviction (2yr+) ■ 14% medium ■ 17% new
285 out of 417 hedge funds have held NWL 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+113% value, -2% shares)

Value
+112%
Shares
-2%
Last quarter: total value of institutional NWL holdings rose +113% even though funds reduced share count by 2%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

58 → 73 → 56 → 101 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 73 → 56 → 101 → 53. A growing number of institutions are discovering NWL each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 75% veterans vs 20% newcomers

■ 75% veterans ■ 6% 1-2yr ■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 429 holders: 321 (75%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 84 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 83% AUM from top-100 funds

83% from top-100 AUM funds
53 of 412 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 83% of total institutional value in NWL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.1
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
