Smart Money Signals — GNTX

Based on 527 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added GNTX 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.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
527 hedge funds hold GNTX 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.
📶

Steady growth — +10% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+48 new funds entered over the past year (+10% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

289 buying221 selling
Last quarter: 289 funds bought or added vs 221 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+16 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new GNTX position: 94 → 94 → 68 → 84. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

65% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 65% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 16% new
345 out of 527 hedge funds have held GNTX 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 +101%, value +26%

Value
+25%
Shares
+101%
Last quarter: funds added +101% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +26%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

58 → 94 → 94 → 68 → 84 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 94 → 94 → 68 → 84. GNTX is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 70% veterans vs 19% newcomers

■ 70% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 532 holders: 375 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 58 entered 1–2 years ago, and 99 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds

53% from top-100 AUM funds
58 of 527 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in GNTX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.4/10 — 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.
