Smart Money Signals — FBIZ

Based on 141 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FBIZ 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
141 hedge funds hold FBIZ 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+26 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

73 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 73 funds were net buyers (15 opened a brand new position + 58 added to an existing one). Only 49 were sellers (35 trimmed + 14 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~15 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 28 → 19 → 15. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

57% of holders stayed for 2+ years

57% conviction (2yr+) 23% medium 21% new
80 out of 141 hedge funds have held FBIZ 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

22 → 13 → 28 → 19 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 28 → 19 → 15. FBIZ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 24% newcomers

67% veterans 9% 1-2yr 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 141 holders: 94 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 13 entered 1–2 years ago, and 34 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 38% AUM from major funds

38% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 141 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
