Smart Money Signals — YLD

Based on 62 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
62 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +32% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+32% 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 — 64% buying

41 buying23 selling
Last quarter: 41 funds were net buyers (9 opened a brand new position + 32 added to an existing one). Only 23 were sellers (17 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 8 → 10 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

42% of holders stayed for 2+ years

42% conviction (2yr+) 29% medium 29% new
26 out of 62 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter

6 → 13 → 8 → 10 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 8 → 10 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 34% veterans, 39% new entrants

34% veterans 27% 1-2yr 39% new
Of 62 current holders: 21 (34%) held 2+ years, 17 held 1–2 years, 24 (39%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 16% top-100 AUM

16% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 10 of 62 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
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.
