Smart Money Signals — DNUT

Based on 169 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DNUT 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 (99% of max)

99% of all-time peak
169 hedge funds hold DNUT 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 — +12% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+18 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

85 buying90 selling
Last quarter: 90 funds reduced or exited vs 85 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~34 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 40 → 45 → 33 → 34. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

47% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 47% conviction (2yr+) ■ 33% medium ■ 20% new
79 out of 169 hedge funds have held DNUT 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

32 → 40 → 45 → 33 → 34 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 45 → 33 → 34. DNUT is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 59% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Of 184 current holders: 109 (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.
🏆

Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds

61% from top-100 AUM funds
44 of 169 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in DNUT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
