Smart Money Signals — ELME

Based on 160 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ELME positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 60% of 3.0Y high

60% of all-time peak
Only 160 funds hold ELME today versus a peak of 265 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 60% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 38% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
96 fewer hedge funds hold ELME compared to a year ago (-38% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying

53 buying109 selling
Last quarter: 109 funds sold vs only 53 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-36 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 49 → 39 → 56 → 20. 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.
🔒

56% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 56% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 22% new
90 out of 160 hedge funds have held ELME 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 -16%, value -99%

Value
-99%
Shares
-15%
Last quarter: funds added -16% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~20 new funds/quarter

33 → 49 → 39 → 56 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 49 → 39 → 56 → 20. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 64% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 64% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 162 holders: 103 (64%) are 2+ year veterans, 14 entered 1–2 years ago, and 45 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100

14% from top-100 AUM funds
30 of 160 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
2.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — 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.
