Smart Money Signals — KMLM

Based on 50 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added KMLM 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.
📊

High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak

85% of all-time peak
50 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 59 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold KMLM compared to a year ago (-7% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 59% buying

32 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 32 funds bought or added vs 22 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new KMLM position: 5 → 10 → 7 → 15. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

42% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 42% conviction (2yr+) ■ 30% medium ■ 28% new
21 out of 50 hedge funds have held KMLM 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

4 → 5 → 10 → 7 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 10 → 7 → 15. A growing number of institutions are discovering KMLM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 46% veterans vs 30% newcomers

■ 46% veterans ■ 24% 1-2yr ■ 30% new
Entry-cohort mix of 50 holders: 23 (46%) are 2+ year veterans, 12 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (30%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 9% AUM from top-100

3.0
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.
