Smart Money Signals — POOL

Based on 613 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added POOL 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.
📊

High ownership — 83% of 3.0Y peak

83% of all-time peak
613 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 736 funds (reached 2024 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
92 fewer hedge funds hold POOL compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 51% buying

351 buying337 selling
Last quarter: 351 funds bought or added vs 337 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+54 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new POOL position: 83 → 112 → 95 → 149. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 62% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 24% new
377 out of 613 hedge funds have held POOL 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

90 → 83 → 112 → 95 → 149 new funds/Q

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 65% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 628 holders: 411 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 64 entered 1–2 years ago, and 153 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

55% from top-100 AUM funds

2.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.7/10 — 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.
