📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SMTI 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
73 hedge funds hold SMTI 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 — +40% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+40% 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 — 71% buying
49 buying20 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 32 added to an existing one). Only 20 were sellers (14 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 40% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium
■ 32% new

💰
Value +65% but shares only +20% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +65%, but actual share count only changed +20%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
9 → 12 → 10 → 18 → 17 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 10 → 18 → 17. 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 — 51% veterans vs 34% newcomers
■ 51% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Entry-cohort mix of 73 holders: 37 (51%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 25 (34%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds
53% from top-100 AUM funds
26 of 73 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in SMTI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
