Smart Money Signals — QCLN

Based on 153 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QCLN 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.
🔻

Below peak — only 61% of 3.0Y high

61% of all-time peak
Only 153 funds hold QCLN today versus a peak of 251 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 61% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago

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

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

66 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 72 funds reduced or exited vs 66 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~29 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 9 → 27 → 29. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

71% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 71% conviction (2yr+) ■ 14% medium ■ 16% new
108 out of 153 hedge funds have held QCLN 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

25 → 10 → 9 → 27 → 29 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 9 → 27 → 29. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 70% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 18% new
Of 154 current holders: 108 (70%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 73% AUM from top-100 funds

73% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 153 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 73% of total institutional value in QCLN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
1.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.5/10 — 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.
