📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ZALT 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
102 hedge funds hold ZALT 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 — +59% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+59% 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
68 buying38 selling
Last quarter: 68 funds were net buyers (23 opened a brand new position + 45 added to an existing one). Only 38 were sellers (23 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~23 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 22 → 7 → 18 → 23. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 33% entered in last year
■ 15% conviction (2yr+)
■ 52% medium
■ 33% new
Only 15 funds (15%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
24 → 22 → 7 → 18 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 22 → 7 → 18 → 23. A growing number of institutions are discovering ZALT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱
Early stage — 60% of holders entered in last year
■ 10% veterans
■ 30% 1-2yr
■ 60% new
Of 102 current holders: 61 (60%) entered in the past year, only 10 (10%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 4% AUM from top-100
4% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 102 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 4% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
