Smart Money Signals — WRBY

Based on 307 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WRBY 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.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
307 hedge funds hold WRBY right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +24% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+59 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 58% buying

203 buying146 selling
Last quarter: 203 funds bought or added vs 146 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~71 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 52 → 90 → 66 → 71. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 37% long-term, 36% new

■ 37% conviction (2yr+) ■ 28% medium ■ 36% new
Of the 307 current holders: 113 (37%) held >2 years, 85 held 1–2 years, and 109 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰

Value +86% but shares only +28% — price-driven

Value
+86%
Shares
+28%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +86%, but actual share count only changed +28%. 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~71 new funds/quarter

50 → 52 → 90 → 66 → 71 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 52 → 90 → 66 → 71. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 42% veterans vs 39% newcomers

■ 42% veterans ■ 19% 1-2yr ■ 39% new
Entry-cohort mix of 327 holders: 136 (42%) are 2+ year veterans, 62 entered 1–2 years ago, and 129 (39%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds

59% from top-100 AUM funds
55 of 304 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in WRBY. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
