Smart Money Signals — GPC

Based on 1076 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GPC positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (97% of max)

97% of all-time peak
1,076 hedge funds hold GPC 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.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding GPC is almost the same as a year ago (-27 funds, -2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

514 buying563 selling
Last quarter: 563 funds reduced or exited vs 514 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~130 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 97 → 118 → 132 → 130. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

70% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 70% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 13% new
758 out of 1,076 hedge funds have held GPC 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 -4%, value -20%

Value
-19%
Shares
-4%
Last quarter: funds added -4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -20%. 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

142 → 97 → 118 → 132 → 130 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 97 → 118 → 132 → 130. A growing number of institutions are discovering GPC each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 74% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 74% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,096 holders: 813 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 102 entered 1–2 years ago, and 181 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 39% AUM from major funds

39% from top-100 AUM funds
62 of 1069 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 39% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — 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.
