Smart Money Signals — LI

Based on 160 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their LI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high

67% of all-time peak
Only 160 funds hold LI today versus a peak of 240 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 67% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 21% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
43 fewer hedge funds hold LI compared to a year ago (-21% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

87 buying109 selling
Last quarter: 109 funds reduced or exited vs 87 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new LI position: 50 → 27 → 26 → 33. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

64% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 64% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 19% new
102 out of 160 hedge funds have held LI 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 -33%

Value
-32%
Shares
+0%
Last quarter: funds added +0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -33%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

39 → 50 → 27 → 26 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 50 → 27 → 26 → 33. LI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 68% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 68% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 21% new
Of 187 current holders: 128 (68%) 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.
✅

Strong quality — 20% AUM from major funds

20% from top-100 AUM funds
22 of 160 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 20% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.1
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.1/10 — 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.
