Smart Money Signals — RKLB

Based on 875 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added RKLB 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
875 hedge funds hold RKLB 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.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +114% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+467 new funds entered over the past year (+114% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 62% buying

568 buying352 selling
Last quarter: 568 funds were net buyers (166 opened a brand new position + 402 added to an existing one). Only 352 were sellers (240 trimmed + 112 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-76 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 168 → 224 → 242 → 166. 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.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 50% entered in last year

■ 21% conviction (2yr+) ■ 29% medium ■ 50% new
Only 184 funds (21%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~166 new funds/quarter

92 → 168 → 224 → 242 → 166 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 168 → 224 → 242 → 166. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱

Early stage — 60% of holders entered in last year

■ 25% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 60% new
Of 931 current holders: 555 (60%) entered in the past year, only 236 (25%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆

Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds

45% from top-100 AUM funds
63 of 866 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in RKLB. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
5.5
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.5/10 — 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.
