Smart Money Signals — ARMK

Based on 543 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ARMK 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
543 hedge funds hold ARMK 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 — +50% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+180 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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 — 61% buying

321 buying208 selling
Last quarter: 321 funds were net buyers (127 opened a brand new position + 194 added to an existing one). Only 208 were sellers (159 trimmed + 49 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+33 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ARMK position: 63 → 100 → 94 → 127. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

52% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 52% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 30% new
281 out of 543 hedge funds have held ARMK 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 +40% but shares only +5% — price-driven

Value
+40%
Shares
+4%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +40%, but actual share count only changed +5%. 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

59 → 63 → 100 → 94 → 127 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 63 → 100 → 94 → 127. A growing number of institutions are discovering ARMK each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 59% veterans vs 31% newcomers

■ 59% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 31% new
Entry-cohort mix of 556 holders: 326 (59%) are 2+ year veterans, 58 entered 1–2 years ago, and 172 (31%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds

59% from top-100 AUM funds
61 of 541 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in ARMK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.3
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — 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.
