Smart Money Signals — STRL

Based on 881 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added STRL 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
881 hedge funds hold STRL 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 — +72% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+368 new funds entered over the past year (+72% 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 — 51% buying

457 buying440 selling
Last quarter: 457 funds bought or added vs 440 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 (+94 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new STRL position: 126 → 128 → 149 → 243. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 33% long-term, 38% new

■ 33% conviction (2yr+) ■ 29% medium ■ 38% new
Of the 881 current holders: 293 (33%) held >2 years, 253 held 1–2 years, and 335 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

143 → 126 → 128 → 149 → 243 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 126 → 128 → 149 → 243. 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.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 38% veterans, 46% new entrants

■ 38% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 46% new
Of 904 current holders: 346 (38%) held 2+ years, 146 held 1–2 years, 412 (46%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 54% AUM from top-100 funds

54% from top-100 AUM funds
67 of 879 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in STRL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.7
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.7/10 — 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.
