📊

High ownership — 85% of 3.0Y peak

85% of all-time peak
319 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 375 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago

184 buying133 selling
Last quarter: 184 funds bought or added vs 133 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

80 → 49 → 81 → 54 → 51 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 49 → 81 → 54 → 51. AI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 63% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 63% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 347 holders: 220 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 53 entered 1–2 years ago, and 74 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

2.7
out of 10

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.
