Smart Money Signals — ADBE

Based on 2012 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ADBE 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 — 73% of 3.0Y peak

73% of all-time peak
2,012 funds currently hold this stock — 73% of the 3.0-year high of 2,765 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 24% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
640 fewer hedge funds hold ADBE compared to a year ago (-24% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

891 buying1342 selling
Last quarter: 1,342 funds reduced or exited vs 891 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-20 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 160 → 305 → 224 → 204. 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.
🔒

72% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 72% conviction (2yr+) ■ 14% medium ■ 14% new
1,446 out of 2,012 hedge funds have held ADBE 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.

-11%
Shares
+41%
Last quarter: funds added +41% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -11%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~204 new funds/quarter

236 → 160 → 305 → 224 → 204 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 160 → 305 → 224 → 204. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 74% veterans vs 16% newcomers

■ 74% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 2,120 holders: 1,572 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 213 entered 1–2 years ago, and 335 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds

64% from top-100 AUM funds
72 of 2000 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in ADBE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — 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.
