Smart Money Signals — ESLT

Based on 317 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ESLT 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
317 hedge funds hold ESLT 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.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +75% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+136 new funds entered over the past year (+75% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 51% buying

165 buying157 selling
Last quarter: 165 funds bought or added vs 157 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~60 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 57 → 69 → 64 → 60. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

24 → 57 → 69 → 64 → 60 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 57 → 69 → 64 → 60. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 52% of holders stayed 2+ years

52% veterans 8% 1-2yr 40% new
Of 330 current holders: 173 (52%) 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 — 51% AUM from top-100 funds

51% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 317 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 51% of total institutional value in ESLT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.6
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
