Smart Money Signals — XDQQ

Based on 36 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added XDQQ 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
36 hedge funds hold XDQQ 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 — +50% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+50% 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 buyers than sellers — 63% buying

22 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 14 added to an existing one). Only 13 were sellers (11 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~8 new funds per quarter

31% conviction (2yr+) 39% medium 31% new
Of the 36 current holders: 11 (31%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 11 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter

5 → 4 → 7 → 3 → 8 new funds/Q

Smaller funds dominant — 5% AUM from top-100

5% from top-100 AUM funds

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — 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.
