Smart Money Signals — VFC

Based on 549 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 VFC 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 — 94% of 3.0Y peak

94% of all-time peak
549 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 581 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +7% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+35 new funds entered over the past year (+7% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 51% buying

276 buying265 selling
Last quarter: 276 funds bought or added vs 265 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-27 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 73 → 82 → 105 → 78. 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.
🔒

68% conviction (2yr+) 15% medium 17% new

73% veterans 9% 1-2yr 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 576 holders: 418 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 50 entered 1–2 years ago, and 108 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

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.
