Smart Money Signals — EMPD

Based on 49 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 4Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
49 hedge funds hold EMPD right now — the highest count in 1.2 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 — +4800% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 5Q
+48 new funds entered over the past year (+4800% 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. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying

23 buying37 selling
Last quarter: 37 funds sold vs only 23 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~15 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 44 → 14 → 15. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 90% entered in last year

■ 0% conviction (2yr+) ■ 10% medium ■ 90% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 (+633% value, -6% shares)

Value
+633%
Shares
-6%
Last quarter: total value of institutional EMPD holdings rose +633% even though funds reduced share count by 6%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

4 → 44 → 14 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 44 → 14 → 15. EMPD is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱

Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year

■ 0% veterans ■ 0% 1-2yr ■ 100% new
Of 51 current holders: 51 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆

Elite ownership — 99% AUM from top-100 funds

99% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 48 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 99% of total institutional value in EMPD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
7.8
out of 10
High Exit Risk
Exit risk score 7.8/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Selling pressure exceeds buying: only 38% of active funds buying. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

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.
