Smart Money Signals — LPTH

Based on 105 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LPTH 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
105 hedge funds hold LPTH 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 — +162% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+65 new funds entered over the past year (+162% 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 — 62% buying

75 buying45 selling
Last quarter: 75 funds were net buyers (41 opened a brand new position + 34 added to an existing one). Only 45 were sellers (26 trimmed + 19 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~41 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 7 → 46 → 41. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 32% long-term, 54% new

32% conviction (2yr+) 13% medium 54% new
Of the 105 current holders: 34 (32%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 57 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 +113% but shares only +56% — price-driven

Value
+113%
Shares
+56%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +113%, but actual share count only changed +56%. 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

12 → 5 → 7 → 46 → 41 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 7 → 46 → 41. 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.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 49% of holders stayed 2+ years

49% veterans 2% 1-2yr 50% new
Of 113 current holders: 55 (49%) 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
15 of 105 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.
6.4
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.4/10 — 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.
