Smart Money Signals — LQDI

Based on 21 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added LQDI 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.
📊

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
21 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 23 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +11% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+11% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

12 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 12 funds were net buyers (2 opened a brand new position + 10 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (5 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

12 out of 21 hedge funds have held LQDI 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

3 → 5 → 1 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 1 → 2 → 2. LQDI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

■ 76% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 10% new
Entry-cohort mix of 21 holders: 16 (76%) are 2+ year veterans, 3 entered 1–2 years ago, and 2 (10%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

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.
