Smart Money Signals — CSTE

Based on 36 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻

Below peak — only 52% of 3.0Y high

52% of all-time peak
Only 36 funds hold CSTE today versus a peak of 69 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 52% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 33% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
18 fewer hedge funds hold CSTE compared to a year ago (-33% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 32% buying

9 buying19 selling
Last quarter: 19 funds sold vs only 9 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 4 → 3 → 5. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

83% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 83% conviction (2yr+) ■ 8% medium ■ 8% new
30 out of 36 hedge funds have held CSTE 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+54% value, -21% shares)

Value
+53%
Shares
-21%
Last quarter: total value of institutional CSTE holdings rose +54% even though funds reduced share count by 21%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter

13 → 4 → 4 → 3 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 4 → 3 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 86% veterans vs 5% newcomers

30% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 36 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 30% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
1.7
out of 10

Exit risk score 1.7/10 — 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.
