Smart Money Signals — STZ

Based on 1027 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their STZ positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 79% of 3.0Y peak

79% of all-time peak
1,027 funds currently hold this stock — 79% of the 3.0-year high of 1,303 funds (reached 2024 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
95 fewer hedge funds hold STZ compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 41% buying

418 buying596 selling
Last quarter: 596 funds reduced or exited vs 418 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-32 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 122 → 152 → 148 → 116. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

70% of holders stayed for 2+ years

70% conviction (2yr+) 16% medium 14% new
715 out of 1,027 hedge funds have held STZ 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +23%, value -5%

Value
-5%
Shares
+23%
Last quarter: funds added +23% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -5%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~116 new funds/quarter

135 → 122 → 152 → 148 → 116 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 122 → 152 → 148 → 116. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 74% veterans vs 16% newcomers

74% veterans 10% 1-2yr 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,080 holders: 802 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 108 entered 1–2 years ago, and 170 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds

59% from top-100 AUM funds
70 of 1022 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in STZ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — 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.
