Smart Money Signals — SATS

Based on 713 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 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
713 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 — +139% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+415 new funds entered over the past year (+139% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

450 buying367 selling
Last quarter: 450 funds bought or added vs 367 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 (-35 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 149 → 196 → 194 → 159. 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.
📌

Mixed — 37% long-term, 43% new

■ 37% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 43% new
Of the 713 current holders: 266 (37%) held >2 years, 142 held 1–2 years, and 305 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +20%, value -5%

Value
-4%
Shares
+19%
Last quarter: funds added +20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -5%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~159 new funds/quarter

45 → 149 → 196 → 194 → 159 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 149 → 196 → 194 → 159. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 48% veterans vs 44% newcomers

■ 48% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 44% new
Entry-cohort mix of 806 holders: 388 (48%) are 2+ year veterans, 60 entered 1–2 years ago, and 358 (44%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds

52% from top-100 AUM funds
64 of 693 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% 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.
5.4
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.4/10 — 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.
