Smart Money Signals — FLMX

Based on 29 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

29 hedge funds hold FLMX 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 — +45% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+9 new funds entered over the past year (+45% 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

15 buying10 selling

Last quarter: 15 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 7 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (7 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
