Smart Money Signals — CRH

Based on 958 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 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
958 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 — +24% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+183 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

581 buying393 selling
Last quarter: 581 funds were net buyers (190 opened a brand new position + 391 added to an existing one). Only 393 were sellers (294 trimmed + 99 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+46 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CRH position: 133 → 104 → 144 → 190. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 35% long-term, 27% new

■ 35% conviction (2yr+) ■ 38% medium ■ 27% new
Of the 958 current holders: 336 (35%) held >2 years, 364 held 1–2 years, and 258 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

134 → 133 → 104 → 144 → 190 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 133 → 104 → 144 → 190. A growing number of institutions are discovering CRH each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 33% veterans, 37% new entrants

■ 33% veterans ■ 31% 1-2yr ■ 37% new
Of 992 current holders: 324 (33%) held 2+ years, 305 held 1–2 years, 363 (37%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds

57% from top-100 AUM funds
47 of 958 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% 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.
4.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — 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.
