Smart Money Signals — HIPS

Based on 36 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added HIPS 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

36 hedge funds hold HIPS 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.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +33% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+9 new funds entered over the past year (+33% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

16 buying19 selling

Last quarter: 19 funds reduced or exited vs 16 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 — ~8 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 8 → 7 → 8. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

🔒

42% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 42% conviction (2yr+) ■ 33% medium ■ 25% new

15 out of 36 hedge funds have held HIPS 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.

➡️

Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter

6 → 6 → 8 → 7 → 8 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 8 → 7 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 46% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 43% new

Of 37 current holders: 17 (46%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

📋

Smaller funds dominant — 16% AUM from top-100

16% from top-100 AUM funds

6 of 36 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 16% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

4.2

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
