Smart Money Signals — TKNO

Based on 79 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TKNO 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
79 hedge funds hold TKNO 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.
📶

Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+11 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 63% buying

48 buying28 selling
Last quarter: 48 funds were net buyers (13 opened a brand new position + 35 added to an existing one). Only 28 were sellers (18 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 13 → 23 → 13. 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.
📌

Mixed — 39% long-term, 43% new

39% conviction (2yr+) 18% medium 43% new
Of the 79 current holders: 31 (39%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 34 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.
💰

Value +134% but shares only +20% — price-driven

Value
+134%
Shares
+19%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +134%, but actual share count only changed +20%. 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

24 → 10 → 13 → 23 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 13 → 23 → 13. A growing number of institutions are discovering TKNO each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 47% veterans vs 46% newcomers

47% veterans 8% 1-2yr 46% new
Entry-cohort mix of 79 holders: 37 (47%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 36 (46%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds

35% from top-100 AUM funds
29 of 79 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.4
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — 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.
