Smart Money Signals — FE

Based on 922 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 10 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FE 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
922 hedge funds hold FE 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.
📶

Steady growth — +17% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+135 new funds entered over the past year (+17% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

522 buying339 selling
Last quarter: 522 funds were net buyers (132 opened a brand new position + 390 added to an existing one). Only 339 were sellers (239 trimmed + 100 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 109 → 116 → 141 → 132. 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.
🔒

62% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 62% conviction (2yr+) ■ 21% medium ■ 17% new
569 out of 922 hedge funds have held FE 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

106 → 109 → 116 → 141 → 132 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 109 → 116 → 141 → 132. A growing number of institutions are discovering FE each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 66% veterans vs 23% newcomers

■ 66% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 943 holders: 626 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 104 entered 1–2 years ago, and 213 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds

52% from top-100 AUM funds
61 of 916 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in FE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
