Smart Money Signals — LI

Based on 164 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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 164 funds hold LI today versus a peak of 246 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 — 22% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
46 fewer hedge funds hold LI compared to a year ago (-22% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 47% buying

92 buying105 selling
Last quarter: 105 funds reduced or exited vs 92 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~36 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 34 → 39 → 36. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 19% new
100 out of 164 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 -1%, value -34%

Value
-34%
Shares
0%
Last quarter: funds added -1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -34%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

33 → 27 → 34 → 39 → 36 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 34 → 39 → 36. A growing number of institutions are discovering LI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 72% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 72% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 189 holders: 136 (72%) are 2+ year veterans, 20 entered 1–2 years ago, and 33 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

58% from top-100 AUM funds

2.0
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.0/10 — 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.
