Smart Money Signals — CNM

Based on 403 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 CNM 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 (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
403 hedge funds hold CNM 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.
📶

Steady growth — +5% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 45% buying

196 buying237 selling
Last quarter: 237 funds reduced or exited vs 196 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 (+16 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CNM position: 61 → 72 → 62 → 78. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

49% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 49% conviction (2yr+) ■ 30% medium ■ 21% new
199 out of 403 hedge funds have held CNM 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 — ~78 new funds/quarter

74 → 61 → 72 → 62 → 78 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 61 → 72 → 62 → 78. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 46% veterans ■ 26% 1-2yr ■ 29% new
Of 417 current holders: 191 (46%) 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
41 of 403 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in CNM. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
