Smart Money Signals — SOXL

Based on 206 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SOXL 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
206 hedge funds hold SOXL 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 — +66% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+82 new funds entered over the past year (+66% 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 — 56% buying

130 buying102 selling
Last quarter: 130 funds bought or added vs 102 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 (+63 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SOXL position: 30 → 39 → 39 → 102. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 34% long-term, 48% new

34% conviction (2yr+) 18% medium 48% new
Of the 206 current holders: 70 (34%) held >2 years, 37 held 1–2 years, and 99 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+384% value, -13% shares)

Value
+383%
Shares
-13%
Last quarter: total value of institutional SOXL holdings rose +384% even though funds reduced share count by 13%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

32 → 30 → 39 → 39 → 102 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 30 → 39 → 39 → 102. 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 — 47% veterans vs 46% newcomers

47% veterans 7% 1-2yr 46% new
Entry-cohort mix of 219 holders: 104 (47%) are 2+ year veterans, 15 entered 1–2 years ago, and 100 (46%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100

14% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 198 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
4.9
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — 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.
