Smart Money Signals — POOL

Based on 610 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their POOL positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 86% of 3.0Y peak

86% of all-time peak
610 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 713 funds (reached 2024 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 12% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
80 fewer hedge funds hold POOL compared to a year ago (-12% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

279 buying421 selling
Last quarter: 421 funds reduced or exited vs 279 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+28 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new POOL position: 87 → 85 → 79 → 107. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

Value
-28%
Shares
-4%

90 → 87 → 85 → 79 → 107 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 87 → 85 → 79 → 107. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

73% veterans 10% 1-2yr 17% new

🏆

Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds

57% from top-100 AUM funds
46 of 610 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in POOL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — 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.
