Smart Money Signals — IT

Based on 718 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 IT 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 — 78% of 3.0Y peak

78% of all-time peak
718 funds currently hold this stock — 78% of the 3.0-year high of 923 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 20% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
183 fewer hedge funds hold IT compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

381 buying440 selling
Last quarter: 440 funds reduced or exited vs 381 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-43 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 98 → 127 → 147 → 104. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

64% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 64% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 19% new
457 out of 718 hedge funds have held IT 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 -0%, value -36%

Value
-36%
Shares
0%
Last quarter: funds added -0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -36%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

96 → 98 → 127 → 147 → 104 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 98 → 127 → 147 → 104. A growing number of institutions are discovering IT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 22% newcomers

■ 69% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 22% new
Entry-cohort mix of 741 holders: 510 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 66 entered 1–2 years ago, and 165 (22%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds

41% from top-100 AUM funds
63 of 713 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in IT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — 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.
