Smart Money Signals — SATS

Based on 670 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SATS 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
670 hedge funds hold SATS 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 — +117% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+361 new funds entered over the past year (+117% 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 — 65% buying

466 buying249 selling
Last quarter: 466 funds were net buyers (192 opened a brand new position + 274 added to an existing one). Only 249 were sellers (179 trimmed + 70 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~192 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 43 → 149 → 195 → 192. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 35% long-term, 47% new

■ 35% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 47% new
Of the 670 current holders: 234 (35%) held >2 years, 120 held 1–2 years, and 316 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

62 → 43 → 149 → 195 → 192 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 43 → 149 → 195 → 192. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 43% veterans vs 46% newcomers

■ 43% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 46% new
Entry-cohort mix of 747 holders: 324 (43%) are 2+ year veterans, 83 entered 1–2 years ago, and 340 (46%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds

41% from top-100 AUM funds
60 of 653 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in SATS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
5.8
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.8/10 — 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.
