Smart Money Signals — PLCE

Based on 44 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PLCE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 33% of 3.0Y high

33% of all-time peak
Only 44 funds hold PLCE today versus a peak of 135 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 33% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 37% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
26 fewer hedge funds hold PLCE compared to a year ago (-37% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

22 buying33 selling
Last quarter: 33 funds reduced or exited vs 22 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 20 → 13 → 7. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

68% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 68% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 14% new
30 out of 44 hedge funds have held PLCE 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 -2%, value -18%

Value
-18%
Shares
-2%
Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -18%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

10 → 8 → 20 → 13 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 20 → 13 → 7. PLCE is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 73% veterans vs 12% newcomers

■ 73% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 12% new
Entry-cohort mix of 49 holders: 36 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 7 entered 1–2 years ago, and 6 (12%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 5% AUM from top-100

5% from top-100 AUM funds
13 of 42 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 5% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
1.0
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.0/10 — 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.
