Based on 305 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added PRGS 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.
📊
High ownership — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
305 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 342 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
17 fewer hedge funds hold PRGS compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
162 buying172 selling
Last quarter: 172 funds reduced or exited vs 162 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PRGS position: 47 → 65 → 41 → 55. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

■ 64% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 15% new
194 out of 305 hedge funds have held PRGS 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 (-6% value, -43% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional PRGS holdings rose -6% even though funds reduced share count by 43%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.

■ 72% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 19% new

🏆
Elite ownership — 48% AUM from top-100 funds
48% from top-100 AUM funds
54 of 305 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in PRGS. 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 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
