Smart Money Signals — YPF

Based on 120 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their YPF positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 65% of 3.0Y high

65% of all-time peak
Only 120 funds hold YPF today versus a peak of 185 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 65% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 35% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
65 fewer hedge funds hold YPF compared to a year ago (-35% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

65 buying76 selling
Last quarter: 76 funds reduced or exited vs 65 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~25 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 23 → 20 → 25. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

61% conviction (2yr+) 23% medium 16% new
73 out of 120 hedge funds have held YPF 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+37% value, -11% shares)

Value
+36%
Shares
-10%
Last quarter: total value of institutional YPF holdings rose +37% even though funds reduced share count by 11%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.

64 → 26 → 23 → 20 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 23 → 20 → 25. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

69% veterans 9% 1-2yr 22% new

23% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 120 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
1.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.8/10 — 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.
