Smart Money Signals — PEGA

Based on 478 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PEGA 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
478 hedge funds hold PEGA 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 — +46% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+151 new funds entered over the past year (+46% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 58% buying

305 buying220 selling
Last quarter: 305 funds bought or added vs 220 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~97 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 146 → 78 → 99 → 97. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

44% of holders stayed for 2+ years

44% conviction (2yr+) 28% medium 28% new
210 out of 478 hedge funds have held PEGA 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -36%

Value
-35%
Shares
-6%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -36%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~97 new funds/quarter

84 → 146 → 78 → 99 → 97 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 146 → 78 → 99 → 97. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 53% veterans vs 34% newcomers

53% veterans 13% 1-2yr 34% new
Entry-cohort mix of 487 holders: 257 (53%) are 2+ year veterans, 64 entered 1–2 years ago, and 166 (34%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds

41% from top-100 AUM funds
53 of 473 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in PEGA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
