Smart Money Signals — QCOM

Based on 3043 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 QCOM 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
3,043 hedge funds hold QCOM 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.
📶

Steady growth — +11% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+299 new funds entered over the past year (+11% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

1474 buying1536 selling
Last quarter: 1,536 funds reduced or exited vs 1,474 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+310 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new QCOM position: 196 → 373 → 189 → 499. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 70% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 15% new

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

214 → 196 → 373 → 189 → 499 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 196 → 373 → 189 → 499. A growing number of institutions are discovering QCOM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 73% veterans vs 16% newcomers

■ 73% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 3,177 holders: 2,309 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 352 entered 1–2 years ago, and 516 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

60% from top-100 AUM funds

3.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — 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.
