Smart Money Signals — CRMT

Based on 95 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CRMT 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 — 76% of 3.0Y peak

76% of all-time peak
95 funds currently hold this stock — 76% of the 3.0-year high of 125 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
8 fewer hedge funds hold CRMT compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 51% buying

50 buying48 selling
Last quarter: 50 funds bought or added vs 48 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 19 → 25 → 13. 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.
🔒

63% of holders stayed for 2+ years

63% conviction (2yr+) 21% medium 16% new
60 out of 95 hedge funds have held CRMT 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 -49%

Value
-49%
Shares
+0%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -49%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

10 → 27 → 19 → 25 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 19 → 25 → 13. CRMT 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 — 74% veterans vs 16% newcomers

74% veterans 11% 1-2yr 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 95 holders: 70 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 10 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds

33% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 95 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — 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.
