📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

93% of all-time peak
1,306 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 1,407 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 42% buying

592 buying814 selling
Last quarter: 814 funds reduced or exited vs 592 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-38 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 198 → 158 → 180 → 142. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

■ 65% conviction (2yr+) ■ 19% medium ■ 15% new
854 out of 1,306 hedge funds have held ADSK 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.

3.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — 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.
