Smart Money Signals — EMN

Based on 646 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added EMN 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 — 82% of 3.0Y peak

82% of all-time peak
646 funds currently hold this stock — 82% of the 3.0-year high of 787 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
93 fewer hedge funds hold EMN compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

334 buying285 selling
Last quarter: 334 funds bought or added vs 285 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-27 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 67 → 127 → 119 → 92. 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.
🔒

69% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 69% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 16% new
443 out of 646 hedge funds have held EMN 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 +7%, value -12%

Value
-11%
Shares
+6%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -12%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~92 new funds/quarter

103 → 67 → 127 → 119 → 92 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 67 → 127 → 119 → 92. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 72% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 72% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 660 holders: 475 (72%) are 2+ year veterans, 72 entered 1–2 years ago, and 113 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

61% from top-100 AUM funds
61 of 644 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in EMN. 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.
