Smart Money Signals — DEC

Based on 176 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added DEC 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

176 hedge funds hold DEC 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 — +28% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+38 new funds entered over the past year (+28% 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 — 60% buying

108 buying71 selling

Last quarter: 108 funds were net buyers (42 opened a brand new position + 66 added to an existing one). Only 71 were sellers (48 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

➡️

Steady new buyers — ~42 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 20 → 26 → 41 → 42. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

🔄

Mostly new holders — 39% entered in last year

■ 15% conviction (2yr+) ■ 46% medium ■ 39% new

Only 27 funds (15%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.

💰

Value +30% but shares only +12% — price-driven

Value

+29%

+11%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +30%, but actual share count only changed +12%. 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

46 → 20 → 26 → 41 → 42 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 26 → 41 → 42. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

📊

Mixed cohorts — 15% veterans, 52% new entrants

■ 15% veterans ■ 34% 1-2yr ■ 52% new

Of 176 current holders: 26 (15%) held 2+ years, 59 held 1–2 years, 91 (52%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

🏆

Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds

44% from top-100 AUM funds

43 of 176 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in DEC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

4.4

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.4/10 — 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.
