Smart Money Signals — ICU

Based on 15 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ICU positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 58% of 2.0Y high

58% of all-time peak
Only 15 funds hold ICU today versus a peak of 26 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 58% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 38% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
9 fewer hedge funds hold ICU compared to a year ago (-38% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 20% buying

5 buying20 selling
Last quarter: 20 funds sold vs only 5 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 3 → 1 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 27% entered in last year

0% conviction (2yr+) 73% medium 27% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+156% value, -84% shares)

Value
+155%
Shares
-83%
Last quarter: total value of institutional ICU holdings rose +156% even though funds reduced share count by 84%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter

8 → 2 → 3 → 1 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 3 → 1 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 0% veterans, 27% new entrants

0% veterans 73% 1-2yr 27% new
Of 15 current holders: 0 (0%) held 2+ years, 11 held 1–2 years, 4 (27%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 66% AUM from top-100 funds

66% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 15 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 66% of total institutional value in ICU. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.1
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.1/10 — 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.
