Smart Money Signals — QUIK

Based on 84 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QUIK 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

84 hedge funds hold QUIK 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 — +12% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+9 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 68% buying

47 buying22 selling

Last quarter: 47 funds were net buyers (25 opened a brand new position + 22 added to an existing one). Only 22 were sellers (14 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+15 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new QUIK position: 15 → 16 → 10 → 25. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

📌

Mixed — 38% long-term, 37% new

■ 38% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 37% new

Of the 84 current holders: 32 (38%) held >2 years, 21 held 1–2 years, and 31 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.

💰

Value +123% but shares only +42% — price-driven

Value

+122%

+42%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +123%, but actual share count only changed +42%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

12 → 15 → 16 → 10 → 25 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 16 → 10 → 25. A growing number of institutions are discovering QUIK each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 49% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 49% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 32% new

Of 87 current holders: 43 (49%) 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.

✅

Strong quality — 27% AUM from major funds

27% from top-100 AUM funds

21 of 84 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 27% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

4.1

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
