📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

93% of all-time peak
285 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 308 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +6% more funds vs a year ago

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

152 buying162 selling
Last quarter: 162 funds reduced or exited vs 152 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 47 → 54 → 50 → 39. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

3.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
