Smart Money Signals — CABO

Based on 156 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CABO positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 54% of 3.0Y high

54% of all-time peak
Only 156 funds hold CABO today versus a peak of 289 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 54% 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.
📉

Outflows — 31% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
70 fewer hedge funds hold CABO compared to a year ago (-31% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 43% buying

81 buying109 selling
Last quarter: 109 funds reduced or exited vs 81 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 (-9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 55 → 37 → 30 → 21. 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.
🔒

74% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 74% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 12% new
115 out of 156 hedge funds have held CABO 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -6%, value -47%

Value
-47%
Shares
-6%
Last quarter: funds added -6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -47%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

41 → 55 → 37 → 30 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 55 → 37 → 30 → 21. CABO is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 76% veterans vs 13% newcomers

■ 76% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 13% new
Entry-cohort mix of 156 holders: 118 (76%) are 2+ year veterans, 18 entered 1–2 years ago, and 20 (13%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds

53% from top-100 AUM funds
40 of 156 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in CABO. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
1.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.3/10 — 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.
