Smart Money Signals — AVY
Based on 750 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

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.
