Smart Money Signals — PPLT

Based on 241 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 PPLT 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
241 hedge funds hold PPLT 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 — +48% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+78 new funds entered over the past year (+48% 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 — 88% buying

237 buying31 selling
Last quarter: 237 funds were net buyers (47 opened a brand new position + 190 added to an existing one). Only 31 were sellers (4 trimmed + 27 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~47 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 51 → 82 → 42 → 47. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 34% long-term, 35% new

■ 34% conviction (2yr+) ■ 31% medium ■ 35% new
Of the 241 current holders: 83 (34%) held >2 years, 74 held 1–2 years, and 84 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +784%, value -30%

Value
-30%
Shares
+784%
Last quarter: funds added +784% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -30%. 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

52 → 51 → 82 → 42 → 47 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 51 → 82 → 42 → 47. PPLT 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 — 40% veterans vs 48% newcomers

■ 40% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 48% new
Entry-cohort mix of 252 holders: 100 (40%) are 2+ year veterans, 32 entered 1–2 years ago, and 120 (48%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 36% AUM from major funds

36% from top-100 AUM funds
23 of 237 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 36% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
