Smart Money Signals — ASRT

Based on 66 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ASRT 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.
🔻

Below peak — only 47% of 3.0Y high

47% of all-time peak
Only 66 funds hold ASRT today versus a peak of 140 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 47% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding ASRT is almost the same as a year ago (-2 funds, -3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 69% buying

41 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 41 funds were net buyers (22 opened a brand new position + 19 added to an existing one). Only 18 were sellers (10 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ASRT position: 8 → 7 → 8 → 22. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

53% conviction (2yr+) 14% medium 33% new
35 out of 66 hedge funds have held ASRT 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 +177% but shares only +32% — price-driven

Value
+176%
Shares
+32%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +177%, but actual share count only changed +32%. 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

3 → 8 → 7 → 8 → 22 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 7 → 8 → 22. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 62% veterans vs 28% newcomers

62% veterans 10% 1-2yr 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 68 holders: 42 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 7 entered 1–2 years ago, and 19 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 13% AUM from top-100

13% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 65 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 13% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
1.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.2/10 — 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.
