📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 4 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

342 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.

📶

Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+48 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 64% buying

198 buying112 selling

Last quarter: 198 funds were net buyers (64 opened a brand new position + 134 added to an existing one). Only 112 were sellers (80 trimmed + 32 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

Entry-cohort mix of 344 holders: 195 (57%) are 2+ year veterans, 60 entered 1–2 years ago, and 89 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

3.8

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
