Smart Money Signals — TDW

Based on 362 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TDW 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
362 hedge funds hold TDW 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+63 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 59% buying

222 buying155 selling
Last quarter: 222 funds bought or added vs 155 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 (+27 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TDW position: 65 → 66 → 55 → 82. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

52% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 52% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 23% new
188 out of 362 hedge funds have held TDW 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 +73% but shares only +5% — price-driven

Value
+73%
Shares
+5%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +73%, but actual share count only changed +5%. 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~82 new funds/quarter

60 → 65 → 66 → 55 → 82 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 65 → 66 → 55 → 82. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 61% veterans vs 26% newcomers

■ 61% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 374 holders: 230 (61%) are 2+ year veterans, 45 entered 1–2 years ago, and 99 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 38% AUM from major funds

38% from top-100 AUM funds
49 of 357 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
