Smart Money Signals — LION

Based on 297 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 10 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LION 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
297 hedge funds hold LION 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 — +38% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+82 new funds entered over the past year (+38% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

158 buying133 selling
Last quarter: 158 funds bought or added vs 133 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 (+13 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new LION position: 54 → 72 → 49 → 62. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 25% long-term, 36% new

25% conviction (2yr+) 39% medium 36% new
Of the 297 current holders: 74 (25%) held >2 years, 116 held 1–2 years, and 107 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰

Value +73% but shares only +3% — price-driven

Value
+72%
Shares
+2%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +73%, but actual share count only changed +3%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~62 new funds/quarter

198 → 54 → 72 → 49 → 62 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 54 → 72 → 49 → 62. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱

Early stage — 67% of holders entered in last year

33% veterans 0% 1-2yr 67% new
Of 313 current holders: 211 (67%) entered in the past year, only 102 (33%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.

Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds

37% from top-100 AUM funds
49 of 292 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.3
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — 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.
