Smart Money Signals — COWS

Based on 18 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their COWS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 90% of 2.8Y peak

90% of all-time peak
18 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 2.8-year high of 20 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +20% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+20% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 26% buying

5 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds sold vs only 5 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 4 → 6 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 33% long-term, 39% new

■ 33% conviction (2yr+) ■ 28% medium ■ 39% new
Of the 18 current holders: 6 (33%) held >2 years, 5 held 1–2 years, and 7 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~3 new funds/quarter

3 → 3 → 4 → 6 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 4 → 6 → 3. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱

Early stage — 56% of holders entered in last year

■ 22% veterans ■ 22% 1-2yr ■ 56% new
Of 18 current holders: 10 (56%) entered in the past year, only 4 (22%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆

Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds

52% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 18 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in COWS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
5.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
