Smart Money Signals — AVD

Based on 100 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉 Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
📊 High ownership — 79% of 3.0Y peak
100 funds currently hold this stock — 79% of the 3.0-year high of 127 funds (reached 2023 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉 Outflows — 18% fewer funds vs a year ago
22 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-18% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠 More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
Last quarter: 59 funds reduced or exited vs 39 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️ Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
Funds opening this position for the first time: 15 → 11 → 15 → 7. 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.
🔒 75% of holders stayed for 2+ years
75 out of 100 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.
