Smart Money Signals — ALAB

Based on 997 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 ALAB 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
997 hedge funds hold ALAB 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 — +97% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+491 new funds entered over the past year (+97% 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 — 66% buying

684 buying357 selling
Last quarter: 684 funds were net buyers (381 opened a brand new position + 303 added to an existing one). Only 357 were sellers (269 trimmed + 88 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+242 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ALAB position: 224 → 181 → 139 → 381. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 50% entered in last year

■ 11% conviction (2yr+) ■ 39% medium ■ 50% new
Only 109 funds (11%) 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.
💰

Value +365% but shares only +83% — price-driven

Value
+365%
Shares
+82%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +365%, but actual share count only changed +83%. 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

184 → 224 → 181 → 139 → 381 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 224 → 181 → 139 → 381. A growing number of institutions are discovering ALAB each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱

Early stage — 60% of holders entered in last year

■ 11% veterans ■ 29% 1-2yr ■ 60% new
Of 1,058 current holders: 630 (60%) entered in the past year, only 117 (11%) 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.
🏆

Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds

64% from top-100 AUM funds
65 of 983 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in ALAB. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
5.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — 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.
