Smart Money Signals — ARCO

Based on 145 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈 Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
📊 High ownership — 87% of 3.0Y peak
145 funds currently hold this stock — 87% of the 3.0-year high of 167 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️ Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
The number of hedge funds holding this stock is almost the same as a year ago (-2 funds, -1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — the institutional base is holding steady.
🟡 Slight buying edge — 52% buying
Last quarter: 78 funds bought or added vs 71 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.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 28 → 19 → 31 → 25. 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.
🔒 64% of holders stayed for 2+ years
93 out of 145 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
