Based on 323 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AI 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 — 86% of 3.0Y peak

86% of all-time peak
323 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 375 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 14% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
52 fewer hedge funds hold AI compared to a year ago (-14% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 59% buying

187 buying131 selling
Last quarter: 187 funds bought or added vs 131 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 — ~53 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 49 → 82 → 54 → 53. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

59% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 59% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 20% new
189 out of 323 hedge funds have held AI 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.
💰

Value +37% but shares only +13% — price-driven

Value
+36%
Shares
+12%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +37%, but actual share count only changed +13%. 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

80 → 49 → 82 → 54 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 49 → 82 → 54 → 53. AI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 63% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 63% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 351 holders: 222 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 54 entered 1–2 years ago, and 75 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 49% AUM from top-100 funds

49% from top-100 AUM funds
50 of 319 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in AI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — 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.
