Smart Money Signals — FEBM

Based on 37 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 4Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
37 hedge funds hold this stock right now — the highest count in 1.2 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +3600% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 5Q
+36 new funds entered over the past year (+3600% 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. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 26% buying

9 buying26 selling
Last quarter: 26 funds sold vs only 9 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 12 → 10 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 57% entered in last year

0% conviction (2yr+) 43% medium 57% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

27 → 12 → 10 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 12 → 10 → 5. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱

Early stage — 97% of holders entered in last year

3% veterans 0% 1-2yr 97% new
Of 37 current holders: 36 (97%) entered in the past year, only 1 (3%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 8% top-100 AUM

8% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 3 of 37 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
7.0
out of 10
High Exit Risk
Exit risk score 7.0/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 95% of its all-time high. Selling pressure exceeds buying: only 26% of active funds buying. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
