Smart Money Signals — CHE

Based on 533 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CHE 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.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (97% of max)

97% of all-time peak
533 hedge funds hold CHE right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding CHE is almost the same as a year ago (-1 funds, 0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 53% buying

284 buying252 selling
Last quarter: 284 funds bought or added vs 252 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+51 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CHE position: 71 → 77 → 56 → 107. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

Value
+26%
Shares
+64%
Last quarter: funds added +65% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +26%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

65 → 71 → 77 → 56 → 107 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 71 → 77 → 56 → 107. A growing number of institutions are discovering CHE each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 66% veterans vs 23% newcomers

66% veterans 11% 1-2yr 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 537 holders: 356 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 59 entered 1–2 years ago, and 122 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

56% from top-100 AUM funds

3.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.4/10 — 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.
