Smart Money Signals — GTLS

Based on 427 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GTLS 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 — 78% of 3.0Y peak

78% of all-time peak
427 funds currently hold this stock — 78% of the 3.0-year high of 549 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 22% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
122 fewer hedge funds hold GTLS compared to a year ago (-22% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying

167 buying266 selling
Last quarter: 266 funds sold vs only 167 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-13 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 109 → 72 → 62 → 49. 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.
🔒

57% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 57% conviction (2yr+) ■ 23% medium ■ 20% new
242 out of 427 hedge funds have held GTLS 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

93 → 109 → 72 → 62 → 49 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 109 → 72 → 62 → 49. GTLS 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 — 62% veterans vs 26% newcomers

■ 62% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 435 holders: 271 (62%) are 2+ year veterans, 49 entered 1–2 years ago, and 115 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

49% from top-100 AUM funds

2.9
out of 10

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.
