Smart Money Signals — HCKT

Based on 168 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added HCKT 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.
📊

High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak

85% of all-time peak
168 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 198 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
30 fewer hedge funds hold HCKT compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

97 buying75 selling
Last quarter: 97 funds bought or added vs 75 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 (+25 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new HCKT position: 13 → 13 → 19 → 44. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

58% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 58% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 24% new
98 out of 168 hedge funds have held HCKT 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 +2%, value -33%

Value
-32%
Shares
+2%
Last quarter: funds added +2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -33%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

24 → 13 → 13 → 19 → 44 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 13 → 19 → 44. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 61% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 61% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 169 holders: 103 (61%) are 2+ year veterans, 19 entered 1–2 years ago, and 47 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

33% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 168 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

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.
