Smart Money Signals — W

Based on 448 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their W 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 — 93% of 3.0Y peak

93% of all-time peak
448 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 483 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +41% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+131 new funds entered over the past year (+41% 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 sellers than buyers — 46% buying

252 buying300 selling
Last quarter: 300 funds reduced or exited vs 252 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-28 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 89 → 126 → 129 → 101. 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.
🔒

58% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 58% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 25% new
259 out of 448 hedge funds have held W 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 -3%, value -27%

Value
-27%
Shares
-3%
Last quarter: funds added -3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -27%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~101 new funds/quarter

45 → 89 → 126 → 129 → 101 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 89 → 126 → 129 → 101. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 69% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 69% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 24% new
Of 498 current holders: 344 (69%) 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.
🏆

Elite ownership — 55% AUM from top-100 funds

55% from top-100 AUM funds
57 of 448 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 55% of total institutional value in W. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
