Based on 135 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

📊

High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak

85% of all-time peak
135 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 159 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

66 buying55 selling
Last quarter: 66 funds bought or added vs 55 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 (-8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 12 → 22 → 14. 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.
🔒

70% of holders stayed for 2+ years

70% conviction (2yr+) 17% medium 13% new
94 out of 135 hedge funds have held EVV 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 +3%, value -25%

Value
-24%
Shares
+3%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -25%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

7 → 13 → 12 → 22 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 12 → 22 → 14. A growing number of institutions are discovering EVV each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years

73% veterans 13% 1-2yr 14% new

65% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 135 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 65% of total institutional value in EVV. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
