Smart Money Signals — PRGS

Based on 292 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
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 — 85% of 3.0Y peak

85% of all-time peak
292 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 344 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
52 fewer hedge funds hold PRGS compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

182 buying149 selling
Last quarter: 182 funds bought or added vs 149 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PRGS position: 41 → 55 → 55 → 65. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

63% of holders stayed for 2+ years

63% conviction (2yr+) 16% medium 21% new
184 out of 292 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.
💰

Value +42% but shares only +10% — price-driven

Value
+41%
Shares
+9%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +42%, but actual share count only changed +10%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

66 → 41 → 55 → 55 → 65 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 41 → 55 → 55 → 65. A growing number of institutions are discovering PRGS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 20% newcomers

69% veterans 11% 1-2yr 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 304 holders: 210 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 34 entered 1–2 years ago, and 60 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds

57% from top-100 AUM funds
51 of 288 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% 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.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — 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.
