Smart Money Signals — YSG

Based on 49 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their YSG positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 75% of 3.0Y peak

75% of all-time peak
49 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 65 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +36% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+13 new funds entered over the past year (+36% 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.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 26% buying

14 buying39 selling
Last quarter: 39 funds sold vs only 14 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 18 → 27 → 14 → 6. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌

Mixed — 33% long-term, 22% new

33% conviction (2yr+) 45% medium 22% new
Of the 49 current holders: 16 (33%) held >2 years, 22 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -6%, value -26%

Value
-26%
Shares
-6%
Last quarter: funds added -6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -26%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

8 → 18 → 27 → 14 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 27 → 14 → 6. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 6% veterans, 34% new entrants

6% veterans 60% 1-2yr 34% new
Of 50 current holders: 3 (6%) held 2+ years, 30 held 1–2 years, 17 (34%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds

44% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 48 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in YSG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
