Smart Money Signals — PFXF

Based on 190 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
190 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
📶

Steady growth — +8% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+14 new funds entered over the past year (+8% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 63% buying

108 buying63 selling
Last quarter: 108 funds were net buyers (28 opened a brand new position + 80 added to an existing one). Only 63 were sellers (53 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~28 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 17 → 21 → 24 → 28. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

58% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 58% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 22% new
111 out of 190 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

29 → 17 → 21 → 24 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 17 → 21 → 24 → 28. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 57% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 57% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Of 190 current holders: 109 (57%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds

43% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 190 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in this stock. When the biggest players hold the majority of a position, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
