Smart Money Signals — CE

Based on 473 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, 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.
📊

High ownership — 74% of 3.0Y peak

74% of all-time peak
473 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 3.0-year high of 638 funds (reached 2024 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+19 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

293 buying196 selling
Last quarter: 293 funds were net buyers (129 opened a brand new position + 164 added to an existing one). Only 196 were sellers (128 trimmed + 68 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+43 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CE position: 85 → 53 → 86 → 129. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

■ 64% conviction (2yr+) ■ 16% medium ■ 20% new
302 out of 473 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.

Price up while funds trimmed (+48% value, -4% shares)

Value
+47%
Shares
-3%
Last quarter: total value of institutional CE holdings rose +48% even though funds reduced share count by 4%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

78 → 85 → 53 → 86 → 129 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 85 → 53 → 86 → 129. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 22% newcomers

■ 69% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 22% new
Entry-cohort mix of 497 holders: 342 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 44 entered 1–2 years ago, and 111 (22%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — 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.
