Smart Money Signals — SHM

Based on 364 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 SHM 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.
📊

High ownership — 93% of 3.0Y peak

93% of all-time peak
364 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 393 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding SHM is almost the same as a year ago (-13 funds, -3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 51% buying

166 buying160 selling
Last quarter: 166 funds bought or added vs 160 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+20 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SHM position: 35 → 27 → 21 → 41. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

73% conviction (2yr+) 16% medium 11% new
265 out of 364 hedge funds have held SHM 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~41 new funds/quarter

42 → 35 → 27 → 21 → 41 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 27 → 21 → 41. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years

70% veterans 14% 1-2yr 16% new
Of 364 current holders: 255 (70%) 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 — 60% AUM from top-100 funds

60% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 364 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 60% of total institutional value in SHM. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — 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.
