Smart Money Signals — FDT

Based on 182 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 FDT 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
182 hedge funds hold FDT 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 — +58% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+67 new funds entered over the past year (+58% 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 — 61% buying

101 buying65 selling
Last quarter: 101 funds were net buyers (40 opened a brand new position + 61 added to an existing one). Only 65 were sellers (53 trimmed + 12 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new FDT position: 17 → 30 → 29 → 40. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

49% of holders stayed for 2+ years

49% conviction (2yr+) 19% medium 32% new
89 out of 182 hedge funds have held FDT 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

12 → 17 → 30 → 29 → 40 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 17 → 30 → 29 → 40. A growing number of institutions are discovering FDT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 57% veterans vs 34% newcomers

57% veterans 9% 1-2yr 34% new
Entry-cohort mix of 182 holders: 103 (57%) are 2+ year veterans, 17 entered 1–2 years ago, and 62 (34%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds

61% from top-100 AUM funds

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.
