Smart Money Signals — ITB

Based on 330 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 ITB 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 — 89% of 3.0Y peak

89% of all-time peak
330 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 372 funds (reached 2024 Q3). 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 ITB is almost the same as a year ago (+7 funds, +2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 45% buying

163 buying197 selling
Last quarter: 197 funds reduced or exited vs 163 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 (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 50 → 92 → 68 → 58. 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.
🔒

59% of holders stayed for 2+ years

59% conviction (2yr+) 20% medium 21% new
195 out of 330 hedge funds have held ITB 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 — ~58 new funds/quarter

49 → 50 → 92 → 68 → 58 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 50 → 92 → 68 → 58. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 65% of holders stayed 2+ years

65% veterans 12% 1-2yr 23% new
Of 348 current holders: 225 (65%) 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.
🏆

Elite ownership — 74% AUM from top-100 funds

74% from top-100 AUM funds
26 of 330 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 74% of total institutional value in ITB. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.3
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.
