Smart Money Signals — RC

Based on 228 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their RC positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 74% of 3.0Y peak

74% of all-time peak
228 funds currently hold this stock — 74% of the 3.0-year high of 310 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 24% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
71 fewer hedge funds hold RC compared to a year ago (-24% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

102 buying107 selling
Last quarter: 107 funds reduced or exited vs 102 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 (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 30 → 50 → 33 → 27. 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.
🔒

61% of holders stayed for 2+ years

61% conviction (2yr+) 22% medium 17% new
139 out of 228 hedge funds have held RC 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+23% value, -37% shares)

Value
+22%
Shares
-37%
Last quarter: total value of institutional RC holdings rose +23% even though funds reduced share count by 37%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

40 → 30 → 50 → 33 → 27 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 30 → 50 → 33 → 27. RC 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 — 66% veterans vs 16% newcomers

66% veterans 18% 1-2yr 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 234 holders: 154 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 42 entered 1–2 years ago, and 38 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 63% AUM from top-100 funds

63% from top-100 AUM funds
45 of 227 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 63% of total institutional value in RC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — 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.
