Smart Money Signals — DB

Based on 465 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 10 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added DB than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
465 hedge funds hold DB 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.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +59% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+172 new funds entered over the past year (+59% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

284 buying183 selling
Last quarter: 284 funds were net buyers (97 opened a brand new position + 187 added to an existing one). Only 183 were sellers (140 trimmed + 43 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+15 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new DB position: 76 → 91 → 82 → 97. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 51% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 27% new

➡️

37 → 76 → 91 → 82 → 97 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 76 → 91 → 82 → 97. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 59% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 32% new
Of 502 current holders: 295 (59%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

70% from top-100 AUM funds

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.
