Smart Money Signals — GPN

Based on 803 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 GPN 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 — 88% of 3.0Y peak

88% of all-time peak
803 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 914 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
57 fewer hedge funds hold GPN compared to a year ago (-7% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

463 buying395 selling
Last quarter: 463 funds bought or added vs 395 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 (-25 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 91 → 113 → 135 → 110. 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.
🔒

69% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 69% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 16% new
555 out of 803 hedge funds have held GPN 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 +16%, value -1%

Value
-1%
Shares
+15%
Last quarter: funds added +16% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -1%. 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

97 → 91 → 113 → 135 → 110 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 91 → 113 → 135 → 110. A growing number of institutions are discovering GPN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 72% veterans vs 18% newcomers

■ 72% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 18% new
Entry-cohort mix of 847 holders: 613 (72%) are 2+ year veterans, 82 entered 1–2 years ago, and 152 (18%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

35% from top-100 AUM funds
65 of 790 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
