Smart Money Signals — CRH

Based on 1018 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CRH 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
1,018 hedge funds hold CRH 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+174 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 53% buying

560 buying487 selling
Last quarter: 560 funds bought or added vs 487 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 146 → 197 → 152 → 142. 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.
🔒

46% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 46% conviction (2yr+) ■ 30% medium ■ 25% new
464 out of 1,018 hedge funds have held CRH 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 +15%, value -0%

Value

Shares
+15%
Last quarter: funds added +15% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -0%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~142 new funds/quarter

110 → 146 → 197 → 152 → 142 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 146 → 197 → 152 → 142. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 46% veterans vs 30% newcomers

■ 46% veterans ■ 24% 1-2yr ■ 30% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,048 holders: 483 (46%) are 2+ year veterans, 252 entered 1–2 years ago, and 313 (30%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 56% AUM from top-100 funds

56% from top-100 AUM funds
65 of 1012 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 56% of total institutional value in CRH. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.8
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.
