Smart Money Signals — DEA

Based on 210 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

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

At the ownership peak (99% of max)

99% of all-time peak
210 hedge funds hold DEA 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 — +20900% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+209 new funds entered over the past year (+20900% 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 sellers than buyers — 48% buying

106 buying113 selling
Last quarter: 113 funds reduced or exited vs 106 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️

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

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 197 → 42 → 32. 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.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 91% entered in last year

2% conviction (2yr+) 7% medium 91% new
Only 4 funds (2%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

1 → 11 → 197 → 42 → 32 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 197 → 42 → 32. DEA is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱

Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year

4% veterans 0% 1-2yr 96% new
Of 213 current holders: 204 (96%) entered in the past year, only 9 (4%) 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 — 50% AUM from top-100 funds

50% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 210 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in DEA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
7.3
out of 10
High Exit Risk
Exit risk score 7.3/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 99% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Selling pressure exceeds buying: only 48% of active funds buying. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

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.
