Smart Money Signals — GBX

Based on 256 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added GBX 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.
📊

High ownership — 90% of 3.0Y peak

90% of all-time peak
256 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 283 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 10% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
27 fewer hedge funds hold GBX compared to a year ago (-10% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

119 buying128 selling
Last quarter: 128 funds reduced or exited vs 119 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new GBX position: 25 → 47 → 31 → 39. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

68% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 68% conviction (2yr+) ■ 16% medium ■ 16% new
175 out of 256 hedge funds have held GBX 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.
➡️

42 → 25 → 47 → 31 → 39 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 25 → 47 → 31 → 39. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 70% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 19% new
Of 261 current holders: 182 (70%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 40% AUM from top-100 funds

40% from top-100 AUM funds
51 of 256 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 40% of total institutional value in GBX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.0
out of 10

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.
