Smart Money Signals — LEMB

Based on 127 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LEMB 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.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

127 hedge funds hold LEMB right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +53% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+44 new funds entered over the past year (+53% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 69% buying

83 buying38 selling

Last quarter: 83 funds were net buyers (31 opened a brand new position + 52 added to an existing one). Only 38 were sellers (28 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

➡️

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

12 → 17 → 15 → 26 → 31 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 17 → 15 → 26 → 31. 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 — 60% veterans vs 30% newcomers

■ 60% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 30% new

Entry-cohort mix of 128 holders: 77 (60%) are 2+ year veterans, 12 entered 1–2 years ago, and 39 (30%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
