📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SMRT 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 — 90% of 3.0Y peak
90% of all-time peak
114 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 127 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold SMRT compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 51% buying
61 buying58 selling
Last quarter: 61 funds bought or added vs 58 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 (+9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SMRT position: 19 → 31 → 17 → 26. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

48 out of 114 hedge funds have held SMRT 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +4%, value -98%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -98%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

Deep conviction — 55% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 55% veterans
■ 14% 1-2yr
■ 31% new
Of 118 current holders: 65 (55%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds
35% from top-100 AUM funds
26 of 114 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
