Smart Money Signals — LRN

Based on 417 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added LRN 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 — 80% of 3.0Y peak

80% of all-time peak
417 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 524 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 10% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
45 fewer hedge funds hold LRN compared to a year ago (-10% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 53% buying

250 buying219 selling
Last quarter: 250 funds bought or added vs 219 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 (+14 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new LRN position: 106 → 65 → 84 → 98. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

51% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 51% conviction (2yr+) ■ 27% medium ■ 22% new
213 out of 417 hedge funds have held LRN 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+31% value, -2% shares)

Value
+30%
Shares
-2%
Last quarter: total value of institutional LRN holdings rose +31% even though funds reduced share count by 2%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️

113 → 106 → 65 → 84 → 98 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 106 → 65 → 84 → 98. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 57% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 57% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 432 holders: 247 (57%) are 2+ year veterans, 63 entered 1–2 years ago, and 122 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — 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.
