Smart Money Signals — PSFE

Based on 140 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

📊

High ownership — 93% of 3.0Y peak

93% of all-time peak
140 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 151 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

59 buying75 selling
Last quarter: 75 funds reduced or exited vs 59 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 (-9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 23 → 28 → 27 → 18. 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.
🔒

■ 46% conviction (2yr+) ■ 34% medium ■ 20% new
65 out of 140 hedge funds have held PSFE 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.

21 → 23 → 28 → 27 → 18 new funds/Q

🏛️

Entry-cohort mix of 145 holders: 76 (52%) are 2+ year veterans, 34 entered 1–2 years ago, and 35 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

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.
