Based on 245 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SSO 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 — 94% of 3.0Y peak

94% of all-time peak

245 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 262 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📶

Steady growth — +11% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+24 new funds entered over the past year (+11% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

120 buying103 selling

Last quarter: 120 funds bought or added vs 103 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 (+30 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new SSO position: 57 → 44 → 25 → 55. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

56% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 56% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 18% new

138 out of 245 hedge funds have held SSO 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.

💰

Value +183% but shares only +115% — price-driven

Value

+183%

+115%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +183%, but actual share count only changed +115%. 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.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

45 → 57 → 44 → 25 → 55 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 57 → 44 → 25 → 55. SSO is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 64% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 64% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 21% new

Entry-cohort mix of 250 holders: 159 (64%) are 2+ year veterans, 39 entered 1–2 years ago, and 52 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

📋

Smaller funds dominant — 7% AUM from top-100

7% from top-100 AUM funds

15 of 242 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 7% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

3.2

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.2/10 — 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.
