Smart Money Signals — CRK

Based on 316 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CRK 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
316 hedge funds hold CRK 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.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding CRK is almost the same as a year ago (+9 funds, +3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

180 buying143 selling
Last quarter: 180 funds bought or added vs 143 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 (+18 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CRK position: 45 → 54 → 45 → 63. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

59% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 59% conviction (2yr+) ■ 19% medium ■ 22% new
187 out of 316 hedge funds have held CRK 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 +6%, value -20%

Value
-20%
Shares
+6%
Last quarter: funds added +6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -20%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~63 new funds/quarter

57 → 45 → 54 → 45 → 63 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 45 → 54 → 45 → 63. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 62% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 62% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 336 holders: 208 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 47 entered 1–2 years ago, and 81 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 69% AUM from top-100 funds

69% from top-100 AUM funds

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.
