Smart Money Signals — DJCO

Based on 134 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added DJCO 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
134 hedge funds hold DJCO 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 — +44% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+41 new funds entered over the past year (+44% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

68 buying54 selling
Last quarter: 68 funds bought or added vs 54 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 (+15 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new DJCO position: 17 → 25 → 19 → 34. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

46% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 46% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 32% new
62 out of 134 hedge funds have held DJCO 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

14 → 17 → 25 → 19 → 34 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 17 → 25 → 19 → 34. A growing number of institutions are discovering DJCO each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 44% veterans vs 42% newcomers

■ 44% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 42% new
Entry-cohort mix of 134 holders: 59 (44%) are 2+ year veterans, 19 entered 1–2 years ago, and 56 (42%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 26% AUM from major funds

26% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 132 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 26% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.3
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — 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.
