Based on 219 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q

The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

219 hedge funds hold RES 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 — +8% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+16 new funds entered over the past year (+8% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 1 quarters from the low — a sharp move.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

113 buying94 selling

Last quarter: 113 funds bought or added vs 94 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 32 → 27 → 45 → 34. 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.

🔒

64% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 64% conviction (2yr+) ■ 19% medium ■ 17% new

140 out of 219 hedge funds have held RES 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.

💰

Value +28% but shares only +3% — price-driven

Value

+28%

+2%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +28%, but actual share count only changed +3%. 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

27 → 32 → 27 → 45 → 34 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 32 → 27 → 45 → 34. A growing number of institutions are discovering RES each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 72% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 72% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 17% new

Of 220 current holders: 159 (72%) 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 — 44% AUM from top-100 funds

44% from top-100 AUM funds

45 of 219 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in RES. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.6

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
