Smart Money Signals — ALB/PRA

Based on 92 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ALB/PRA 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

92 hedge funds hold ALB/PRA 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+17 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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.

🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying

30 buying49 selling

Last quarter: 49 funds sold vs only 30 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.

➡️

Steady new buyers — ~13 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 14 → 14 → 18 → 13. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

📌

Mixed — 34% long-term, 26% new

■ 34% conviction (2yr+) ■ 40% medium ■ 26% new

Of the 92 current holders: 31 (34%) held >2 years, 37 held 1–2 years, and 24 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.

💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -3%, value -21%

Value

-21%

-2%

Last quarter: funds added -3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -21%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

📈

4.6

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.6/10 — 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.
