Based on 600 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CR 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 (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

600 hedge funds hold CR 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.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +24% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+116 new funds entered over the past year (+24% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

325 buying253 selling

Last quarter: 325 funds bought or added vs 253 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 (+17 vs last Q)

Growing discovery — still being found

72 → 83 → 89 → 91 → 108 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 83 → 89 → 91 → 108. A growing number of institutions are discovering CR each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

■ 63% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 26% new

Entry-cohort mix of 609 holders: 381 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 68 entered 1–2 years ago, and 160 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds

59% from top-100 AUM funds

3.8

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
