Smart Money Signals — EBC

Based on 270 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added EBC 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
270 hedge funds hold EBC 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
+42 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 — 65% buying

174 buying94 selling
Last quarter: 174 funds were net buyers (54 opened a brand new position + 120 added to an existing one). Only 94 were sellers (62 trimmed + 32 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+26 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new EBC position: 41 → 45 → 28 → 54. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

51% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 51% conviction (2yr+) ■ 29% medium ■ 21% new
137 out of 270 hedge funds have held EBC 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~54 new funds/quarter

24 → 41 → 45 → 28 → 54 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 41 → 45 → 28 → 54. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 56% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 56% veterans ■ 19% 1-2yr ■ 26% new
Of 273 current holders: 152 (56%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds

61% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 270 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in EBC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
