Smart Money Signals — VLN

Based on 49 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VLN 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 — 94% of 3.0Y peak

94% of all-time peak
49 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 52 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
+2 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

28 buying21 selling
Last quarter: 28 funds bought or added vs 21 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~13 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 7 → 11 → 13. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

53% conviction (2yr+) 14% medium 33% new
26 out of 49 hedge funds have held VLN 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -2%, value -21%

Value
-21%
Shares
-1%
Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -21%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

8 → 3 → 7 → 11 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 7 → 11 → 13. A growing number of institutions are discovering VLN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 62% veterans vs 29% newcomers

62% veterans 10% 1-2yr 29% new
Entry-cohort mix of 52 holders: 32 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 10% AUM from top-100

10% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 47 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 10% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
