Smart Money Signals — TMCWW

Based on 13 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TMCWW 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 — 93% of 3.0Y peak

93% of all-time peak
13 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 14 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +62% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+62% 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 90% buying

9 buying1 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds were net buyers (1 opened a brand new position + 8 added to an existing one). Only 1 were sellers (1 trimmed + 0 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 5 → 4 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

46% of holders stayed for 2+ years

46% conviction (2yr+) 31% medium 23% new
6 out of 13 hedge funds have held TMCWW 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 +7%, value -49%

Value
-49%
Shares
+6%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -49%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

1 → 6 → 5 → 4 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 5 → 4 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 62% of holders stayed 2+ years

62% veterans 8% 1-2yr 31% new
Of 13 current holders: 8 (62%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 3% AUM from top-100

3% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 13 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 3% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
