Smart Money Signals — HBT

Based on 124 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 8 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added HBT 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
124 hedge funds hold HBT 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 — +20% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+20% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

64 buying43 selling
Last quarter: 64 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 44 added to an existing one). Only 43 were sellers (34 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new HBT position: 9 → 12 → 9 → 20. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

46% conviction (2yr+) 30% medium 24% new
57 out of 124 hedge funds have held HBT 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

14 → 9 → 12 → 9 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 12 → 9 → 20. A growing number of institutions are discovering HBT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 50% veterans vs 27% newcomers

50% veterans 22% 1-2yr 27% new
Entry-cohort mix of 125 holders: 63 (50%) are 2+ year veterans, 28 entered 1–2 years ago, and 34 (27%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds

43% from top-100 AUM funds

3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
