Smart Money Signals — LAB

Based on 142 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their LAB 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 — 90% of 3.0Y peak

90% of all-time peak
142 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 158 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 10% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
16 fewer hedge funds hold LAB compared to a year ago (-10% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

90 buying91 selling
Last quarter: 90 funds bought or added vs 91 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 (+20 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new LAB position: 14 → 23 → 25 → 45. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

56% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 56% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 24% new
79 out of 142 hedge funds have held LAB 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

28 → 14 → 23 → 25 → 45 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 23 → 25 → 45. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 65% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 146 holders: 95 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 35 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 13% AUM from top-100

13% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 142 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 13% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
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.
