Smart Money Signals — VERA

Based on 208 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added VERA 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
208 hedge funds hold VERA 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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 — 64% buying

143 buying80 selling
Last quarter: 143 funds were net buyers (65 opened a brand new position + 78 added to an existing one). Only 80 were sellers (59 trimmed + 21 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+34 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new VERA position: 32 → 36 → 31 → 65. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 32% long-term, 33% new

■ 32% conviction (2yr+) ■ 35% medium ■ 33% new
Of the 208 current holders: 67 (32%) held >2 years, 72 held 1–2 years, and 69 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 +98% but shares only +15% — price-driven

Value
+97%
Shares
+15%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +98%, 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

28 → 32 → 36 → 31 → 65 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 36 → 31 → 65. A growing number of institutions are discovering VERA each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 37% veterans, 36% new entrants

■ 37% veterans ■ 27% 1-2yr ■ 36% new
Of 215 current holders: 80 (37%) held 2+ years, 57 held 1–2 years, 78 (36%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅

Strong quality — 26% AUM from major funds

26% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 208 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 26% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
