Smart Money Signals — DFCF

Based on 408 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 DFCF 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
408 hedge funds hold DFCF 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.
📶

Steady growth — +18% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+61 new funds entered over the past year (+18% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 76% buying

310 buying100 selling
Last quarter: 310 funds were net buyers (66 opened a brand new position + 244 added to an existing one). Only 100 were sellers (74 trimmed + 26 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+28 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new DFCF position: 36 → 32 → 38 → 66. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

47% of holders stayed for 2+ years

47% conviction (2yr+) 31% medium 23% new
191 out of 408 hedge funds have held DFCF 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

68 → 36 → 32 → 38 → 66 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 36 → 32 → 38 → 66. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 39% veterans, 36% new entrants

39% veterans 25% 1-2yr 36% new
Of 408 current holders: 161 (39%) held 2+ years, 101 held 1–2 years, 146 (36%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 3% AUM from top-100

3% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 408 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 3% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized 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.
