Smart Money Signals — HIPS

Based on 31 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their HIPS 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 — 84% of 3.0Y peak

84% of all-time peak
31 funds currently hold this stock — 84% of the 3.0-year high of 37 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding HIPS is almost the same as a year ago (-1 funds, -3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 43% buying

15 buying20 selling
Last quarter: 20 funds reduced or exited vs 15 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 — ~5 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 7 → 8 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 39% long-term, 26% new

■ 39% conviction (2yr+) ■ 35% medium ■ 26% new
Of the 31 current holders: 12 (39%) held >2 years, 11 held 1–2 years, and 8 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

7 → 9 → 7 → 8 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 7 → 8 → 5. HIPS 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 — 41% veterans vs 44% newcomers

■ 41% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 44% new
Entry-cohort mix of 32 holders: 13 (41%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 14 (44%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

28% from top-100 AUM funds

3.2
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.
