Smart Money Signals — CE

Based on 393 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CE 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 63% of 3.0Y high

63% of all-time peak
Only 393 funds hold CE today versus a peak of 625 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 63% 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 — 27% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
146 fewer hedge funds hold CE compared to a year ago (-27% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

212 buying221 selling
Last quarter: 221 funds reduced or exited vs 212 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+34 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CE position: 72 → 84 → 50 → 84. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

72% of holders stayed for 2+ years

72% conviction (2yr+) 14% medium 15% new
281 out of 393 hedge funds have held CE 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~84 new funds/quarter

110 → 72 → 84 → 50 → 84 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 72 → 84 → 50 → 84. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 75% of holders stayed 2+ years

75% veterans 7% 1-2yr 18% new
Of 421 current holders: 315 (75%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 50% AUM from top-100 funds

50% from top-100 AUM funds
48 of 393 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in CE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
1.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.6/10 — 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.
