Smart Money Signals — HD

Based on 4131 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added HD 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
4,131 hedge funds hold HD 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 — +5% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+195 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

1976 buying2046 selling
Last quarter: 2,046 funds reduced or exited vs 1,976 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 — ~264 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 277 → 427 → 263 → 264. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

73% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 73% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 12% new
3,010 out of 4,131 hedge funds have held HD 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 +74%, value +10%

Value
+10%
Shares
+74%
Last quarter: funds added +74% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +10%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

241 → 277 → 427 → 263 → 264 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 277 → 427 → 263 → 264. HD 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 — 74% veterans vs 14% newcomers

■ 74% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 14% new
Entry-cohort mix of 4,234 holders: 3,129 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 495 entered 1–2 years ago, and 610 (14%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

64% from top-100 AUM funds

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.
