Smart Money Signals — PHI

Based on 98 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 PHI 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

98 hedge funds hold PHI 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 — +24% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+19 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 64% buying

65 buying37 selling

Last quarter: 65 funds were net buyers (21 opened a brand new position + 44 added to an existing one). Only 37 were sellers (22 trimmed + 15 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

➡️

Steady new buyers — ~21 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 18 → 13 → 26 → 21. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

🔒

57% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 57% conviction (2yr+) ■ 16% medium ■ 27% new

56 out of 98 hedge funds have held PHI 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

15 → 18 → 13 → 26 → 21 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 13 → 26 → 21. 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 — 67% veterans vs 26% newcomers

■ 67% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 26% new

Entry-cohort mix of 98 holders: 66 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 7 entered 1–2 years ago, and 25 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

✅

Strong quality — 36% AUM from major funds

36% from top-100 AUM funds

4.0

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.0/10 — 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.
