Smart Money Signals — ATUS

Based on 191 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ATUS 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
191 hedge funds hold ATUS 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.
📶

Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+22 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

120 buying90 selling
Last quarter: 120 funds bought or added vs 90 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+24 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ATUS position: 26 → 37 → 30 → 54. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

56% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 56% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 26% new
107 out of 191 hedge funds have held ATUS 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
+50%
Shares
-20%
Last quarter: total value of institutional ATUS holdings rose +50% even though funds reduced share count by 21%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈

37 → 26 → 37 → 30 → 54 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 37 → 30 → 54. A growing number of institutions are discovering ATUS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 65% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 206 holders: 134 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 14 entered 1–2 years ago, and 58 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
