Smart Money Signals — DHR

Based on 2173 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DHR 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 (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
2,173 hedge funds hold DHR 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 DHR is almost the same as a year ago (+10 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

972 buying1230 selling
Last quarter: 1,230 funds reduced or exited vs 972 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 (-156 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 181 → 135 → 337 → 181. 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.
🔒

73% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 73% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 12% new
1,589 out of 2,173 hedge funds have held DHR 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 -24%

Value
-24%
Shares
-6%
Last quarter: funds added -6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -24%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

175 → 181 → 135 → 337 → 181 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 181 → 135 → 337 → 181. 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.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 75% veterans vs 15% newcomers

■ 75% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 15% new
Entry-cohort mix of 2,229 holders: 1,668 (75%) are 2+ year veterans, 227 entered 1–2 years ago, and 334 (15%) 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
71 of 2166 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 56% of total institutional value in DHR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.4/10 — 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.
