Smart Money Signals — SDY

Based on 991 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
991 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock is almost the same as a year ago (-13 funds, -1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — the institutional base is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

398 buying411 selling
Last quarter: 411 funds reduced or exited vs 398 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+22 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

🔒

77% of holders stayed for 2+ years

77% conviction (2yr+) 14% medium 9% new

77% veterans 12% 1-2yr 12% new
