Smart Money Signals — PPEM

Based on 4 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
📊

High ownership — 80% of 2.8Y peak

80% of all-time peak
4 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 2.8-year high of 5 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +100% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+2 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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 — 60% buying

3 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds were net buyers (1 opened a brand new position + 2 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (1 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 3 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

25% conviction (2yr+) 25% medium 50% new
Of the 4 current holders: 1 (25%) held >2 years, 1 held 1–2 years, and 2 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

1 → 0 → 3 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 3 → 1 → 1. PPEM is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 25% veterans, 50% new entrants

25% veterans 25% 1-2yr 50% new
Of 4 current holders: 1 (25%) held 2+ years, 1 held 1–2 years, 2 (50%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

92% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 4 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 92% of total institutional value in PPEM. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
