Smart Money Signals — VNT

Based on 457 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VNT positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
457 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 503 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
25 fewer hedge funds hold VNT compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

185 buying280 selling
Last quarter: 280 funds reduced or exited vs 185 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new VNT position: 77 → 66 → 56 → 65. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

65% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 65% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 18% new
297 out of 457 hedge funds have held VNT 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 -11%

Value
-11%
Shares
+6%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -11%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

71 → 77 → 66 → 56 → 65 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 77 → 66 → 56 → 65. VNT 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 — 70% veterans vs 20% newcomers

■ 70% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 459 holders: 321 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 46 entered 1–2 years ago, and 92 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

3.5
out of 10

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.
