Smart Money Signals — CDLX

Based on 43 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CDLX 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 30% of 3.0Y high

30% of all-time peak
Only 43 funds hold CDLX today versus a peak of 143 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 30% 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 — 52% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
47 fewer hedge funds hold CDLX compared to a year ago (-52% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 19% buying

14 buying61 selling
Last quarter: 61 funds sold vs only 14 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~12 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 24 → 10 → 13 → 12. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

70% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 70% conviction (2yr+) ■ 14% medium ■ 16% new
30 out of 43 hedge funds have held CDLX 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (-39% value, -85% shares)

Value
-39%
Shares
-85%
Last quarter: total value of institutional CDLX holdings rose -39% even though funds reduced share count by 85%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

18 → 24 → 10 → 13 → 12 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 10 → 13 → 12. CDLX 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 — 75% veterans vs 12% newcomers

■ 75% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 12% new
Entry-cohort mix of 48 holders: 36 (75%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 6 (12%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 18% AUM from top-100

18% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 42 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 18% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
2.0
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.0/10 — 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.
