Smart Money Signals — CHGG

Based on 104 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 7 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CHGG 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 44% of 3.0Y high

44% of all-time peak

Only 104 funds hold CHGG today versus a peak of 236 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 44% 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 — 40% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

69 fewer hedge funds hold CHGG compared to a year ago (-40% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 36% buying

42 buying74 selling

Last quarter: 74 funds sold vs only 42 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 24 → 32 → 23 → 14. 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.

🔒

79% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 79% conviction (2yr+) ■ 12% medium ■ 9% new

82 out of 104 hedge funds have held CHGG 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 -11%, value -93%

Value

-92%

-10%

Last quarter: funds added -11% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -93%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

35 → 24 → 32 → 23 → 14 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 32 → 23 → 14. CHGG is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 82% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 82% veterans ■ 5% 1-2yr ■ 12% new

Of 112 current holders: 92 (82%) 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 — 43% AUM from top-100 funds

43% from top-100 AUM funds

25 of 104 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in CHGG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

1.1

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 1.1/10 — 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.
