Smart Money Signals — SSTK

Based on 163 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 7 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SSTK positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high

67% of all-time peak
Only 163 funds hold SSTK today versus a peak of 243 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 67% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 17% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
34 fewer hedge funds hold SSTK compared to a year ago (-17% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

82 buying87 selling
Last quarter: 87 funds reduced or exited vs 82 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)

Entry-cohort mix of 168 holders: 117 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 35 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

1.9
out of 10

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.
