Smart Money Signals — GIS

Based on 1301 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GIS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 83% of 3.0Y peak

83% of all-time peak
1,301 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 1,569 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 14% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
218 fewer hedge funds hold GIS compared to a year ago (-14% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 47% buying

646 buying718 selling
Last quarter: 718 funds reduced or exited vs 646 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-24 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 124 → 124 → 173 → 149. 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.
🔒

73% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 73% conviction (2yr+) ■ 14% medium ■ 13% new
948 out of 1,301 hedge funds have held GIS 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -21%

Value
-20%
Shares
+0%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -21%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

136 → 124 → 124 → 173 → 149 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 124 → 124 → 173 → 149. A growing number of institutions are discovering GIS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 74% veterans vs 16% newcomers

■ 74% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,347 holders: 997 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 128 entered 1–2 years ago, and 222 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 50% AUM from top-100 funds

50% from top-100 AUM funds
63 of 1296 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in GIS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — 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.
