📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added VEGN 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
48 hedge funds hold VEGN right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +37% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+13 new funds entered over the past year (+37% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 80% buying
24 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 7 added to an existing one). Only 6 were sellers (5 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new VEGN position: 8 → 5 → 4 → 17. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 35% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 35% new
Of the 48 current holders: 18 (38%) held >2 years, 13 held 1–2 years, and 17 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Value +81% but shares only +15% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +81%, but actual share count only changed +15%. 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
5 → 8 → 5 → 4 → 17 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 5 → 4 → 17. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 40% veterans vs 38% newcomers
■ 40% veterans
■ 23% 1-2yr
■ 38% new
Entry-cohort mix of 48 holders: 19 (40%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 18 (38%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 11% AUM from top-100
11% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 48 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 11% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
