Based on 156 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

📊

High ownership — 90% of 3.0Y peak

90% of all-time peak

156 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 174 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📉

Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

10 fewer hedge funds hold CEVA compared to a year ago (-6% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 47% buying

81 buying90 selling

Last quarter: 90 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 (-22 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 24 → 23 → 48 → 26. 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.

🔒

58% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 58% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 18% new

91 out of 156 hedge funds have held CEVA 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 -2%, value -22%

Value

-22%

-1%

Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -22%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

28 → 24 → 23 → 48 → 26 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 23 → 48 → 26. 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 — 67% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 67% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 21% new

Entry-cohort mix of 157 holders: 105 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 19 entered 1–2 years ago, and 33 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

✅

3.1

out of 10

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.
