Smart Money Signals — CVU

Based on 39 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CVU positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
39 hedge funds hold CVU right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶

Steady growth — +18% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+18% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

24 buying16 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (7 opened a brand new position + 17 added to an existing one). Only 16 were sellers (7 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 11 → 13 → 7. 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.
🔒

41% of holders stayed for 2+ years

41% conviction (2yr+) 21% medium 38% new
16 out of 39 hedge funds have held CVU 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.
💰

Value +56% but shares only +17% — price-driven

Value
+56%
Shares
+16%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +56%, but actual share count only changed +17%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter

4 → 4 → 11 → 13 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 11 → 13 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 53% veterans vs 36% newcomers

53% veterans 11% 1-2yr 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 45 holders: 24 (53%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 16 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 23% AUM from major funds

23% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 39 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
