Smart Money Signals — PBR

Based on 548 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 PBR 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
548 hedge funds hold PBR 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.
📶

Steady growth — +17% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+80 new funds entered over the past year (+17% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

332 buying214 selling
Last quarter: 332 funds were net buyers (129 opened a brand new position + 203 added to an existing one). Only 214 were sellers (151 trimmed + 63 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+52 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PBR position: 75 → 59 → 77 → 129. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

60% of holders stayed for 2+ years

60% conviction (2yr+) 17% medium 23% new
327 out of 548 hedge funds have held PBR 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.
💰

Value +113% but shares only +26% — price-driven

Value
+113%
Shares
+26%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +113%, but actual share count only changed +26%. 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

60 → 75 → 59 → 77 → 129 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 75 → 59 → 77 → 129. 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.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 66% veterans vs 25% newcomers

66% veterans 9% 1-2yr 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 596 holders: 393 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 55 entered 1–2 years ago, and 148 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds

43% from top-100 AUM funds
50 of 540 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in PBR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
