Smart Money Signals — GGB

Based on 172 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GGB 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 — 88% of 3.0Y peak

88% of all-time peak
172 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 195 funds (reached 2023 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding GGB is almost the same as a year ago (-3 funds, -2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

82 buying82 selling
Last quarter: 82 funds bought or added vs 82 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 30 → 21 → 29 → 23. 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.

■ 70% conviction (2yr+) ■ 16% medium ■ 14% new
121 out of 172 hedge funds have held GGB 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.

Value
+14%
Shares
-3%

30 → 30 → 21 → 29 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 30 → 21 → 29 → 23. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

■ 77% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 16% new

57% from top-100 AUM funds
24 of 172 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in GGB. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — 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.
