Smart Money Signals — PIT

Based on 20 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PIT 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
20 hedge funds hold PIT 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 — +300% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+300% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 72% buying

18 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds were net buyers (11 opened a brand new position + 7 added to an existing one). Only 7 were sellers (2 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~11 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 5 → 8 → 11. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 25% long-term, 65% new

25% conviction (2yr+) 10% medium 65% new
Of the 20 current holders: 5 (25%) held >2 years, 2 held 1–2 years, and 13 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰

Value +1031% but shares only +43% — price-driven

Value
+1030%
Shares
+42%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +1031%, but actual share count only changed +43%. 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

0 → 1 → 5 → 8 → 11 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 5 → 8 → 11. A growing number of institutions are discovering PIT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱

Early stage — 60% of holders entered in last year

30% veterans 10% 1-2yr 60% new
Of 20 current holders: 12 (60%) entered in the past year, only 6 (30%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 0% AUM from top-100

0% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 20 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 0% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
6.6
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.6/10 — 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.
