Based on 64 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added TLYS 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.

📊

High ownership — 83% of 3.0Y peak

83% of all-time peak

64 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 77 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📶

Steady growth — +12% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+7 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 64% buying

36 buying20 selling

Last quarter: 36 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 19 added to an existing one). Only 20 were sellers (13 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new TLYS position: 18 → 10 → 3 → 17. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

61% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 22% new

39 out of 64 hedge funds have held TLYS 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 +101% but shares only +1% — price-driven

Value

+100%

+1%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +101%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

6 → 18 → 10 → 3 → 17 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 10 → 3 → 17. TLYS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 76% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 76% veterans ■ 3% 1-2yr ■ 21% new

Entry-cohort mix of 66 holders: 50 (76%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 14 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

📋

Smaller funds dominant — 8% AUM from top-100

8% from top-100 AUM funds

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.
