Smart Money Signals — DPST

Based on 34 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 DPST 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.
📊

High ownership — 72% of 3.0Y peak

72% of all-time peak
34 funds currently hold this stock — 72% of the 3.0-year high of 47 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding DPST is almost the same as a year ago (+1 funds, +3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

19 buying21 selling
Last quarter: 21 funds reduced or exited vs 19 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~13 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 12 → 18 → 9 → 13. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 32% entered in last year

■ 24% conviction (2yr+) ■ 44% medium ■ 32% new
Only 8 funds (24%) 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+23% value, -16% shares)

Value
+23%
Shares
-15%
Last quarter: total value of institutional DPST holdings rose +23% even though funds reduced share count by 16%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

9 → 12 → 18 → 9 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 18 → 9 → 13. DPST is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 54% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 54% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 39 holders: 21 (54%) are 2+ year veterans, 7 entered 1–2 years ago, and 11 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 82% AUM from top-100 funds

82% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 32 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 82% of total institutional value in DPST. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — 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.
