Smart Money Signals — EVLV

Based on 257 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their EVLV positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (99% of max)

99% of all-time peak
257 hedge funds hold EVLV 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 — +37% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+69 new funds entered over the past year (+37% 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 — 52% buying

136 buying124 selling
Last quarter: 136 funds bought or added vs 124 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 — ~53 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 52 → 62 → 56 → 53. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

44% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 44% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 32% new
114 out of 257 hedge funds have held EVLV 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 +4%, value -13%

Value
-12%
Shares
+3%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -13%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~53 new funds/quarter

27 → 52 → 62 → 56 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 52 → 62 → 56 → 53. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 54% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 54% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 34% new
Of 267 current holders: 143 (54%) 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.
✅

Strong quality — 23% AUM from major funds

23% from top-100 AUM funds
45 of 257 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
