📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WSBC 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

309 hedge funds hold WSBC 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.

〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q

The number of hedge funds holding WSBC is almost the same as a year ago (+1 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.

🟡

159 buying119 selling

Last quarter: 159 funds bought or added vs 119 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.

➡️

■ 53% conviction (2yr+) ■ 27% medium ■ 20% new

165 out of 309 hedge funds have held WSBC 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

83 → 25 → 36 → 47 → 45 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 25 → 36 → 47 → 45. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 59% veterans vs 27% newcomers

■ 59% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 27% new

Entry-cohort mix of 313 holders: 185 (59%) are 2+ year veterans, 44 entered 1–2 years ago, and 84 (27%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 49% AUM from top-100 funds

49% from top-100 AUM funds

50 of 309 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in WSBC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.5

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.5/10 — 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.
