Smart Money Signals — ZOCT

Based on 74 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (97% of max)

97% of all-time peak
74 hedge funds hold ZOCT right now — the highest count in 1.8 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 — +48% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+48% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 32% buying

17 buying36 selling
Last quarter: 36 funds sold vs only 17 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 30 → 6 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 36% entered in last year

0% conviction (2yr+) 64% medium 36% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

7 → 8 → 30 → 6 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 30 → 6 → 7. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 0% veterans, 49% new entrants

0% veterans 51% 1-2yr 49% new
Of 74 current holders: 0 (0%) held 2+ years, 38 held 1–2 years, 36 (49%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 3% AUM from top-100

3% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 74 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 3% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
5.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.2/10 — 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.
