Smart Money Signals — DAVA

Based on 82 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 9 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 9 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DAVA positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 42% of 3.0Y high

42% of all-time peak
Only 82 funds hold DAVA today versus a peak of 193 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 42% 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 — 47% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
73 fewer hedge funds hold DAVA compared to a year ago (-47% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 32% buying

30 buying65 selling
Last quarter: 65 funds sold vs only 30 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-16 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 27 → 25 → 9. 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.
🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 66% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 16% new
54 out of 82 hedge funds have held DAVA 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 +2%, value -51%

Value
-51%
Shares
+1%
Last quarter: funds added +2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -51%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter

24 → 9 → 27 → 25 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 27 → 25 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 69% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 88 holders: 61 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 12 entered 1–2 years ago, and 15 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 11% AUM from top-100

11% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 80 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 11% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
1.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.4/10 — 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.
