Smart Money Signals — ACI

Based on 441 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ACI 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.
📊

High ownership — 89% of 3.0Y peak

89% of all-time peak
441 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 496 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 11% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
55 fewer hedge funds hold ACI compared to a year ago (-11% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

236 buying246 selling
Last quarter: 246 funds reduced or exited vs 236 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ACI position: 68 → 82 → 74 → 85. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

61% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 20% new
267 out of 441 hedge funds have held ACI 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.

Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -21%

Value
-20%
Shares
+1%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -21%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

74 → 68 → 82 → 74 → 85 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 68 → 82 → 74 → 85. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 68% veterans vs 19% newcomers

■ 68% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 459 holders: 310 (68%) are 2+ year veterans, 61 entered 1–2 years ago, and 88 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

44% from top-100 AUM funds

3.0
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.0/10 — 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.
