Smart Money Signals — DQ

Based on 119 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DQ positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 76% of 3.0Y peak

76% of all-time peak
119 funds currently hold this stock — 76% of the 3.0-year high of 156 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

66 buying71 selling
Last quarter: 71 funds reduced or exited vs 66 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 — ~20 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 44 → 31 → 20 → 20. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 66% conviction (2yr+) ■ 13% medium ■ 21% new
79 out of 119 hedge funds have held DQ 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 +10%, value -30%

Value
-30%
Shares
+10%
Last quarter: funds added +10% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -30%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

15 → 44 → 31 → 20 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 44 → 31 → 20 → 20. DQ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 74% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 74% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 132 holders: 98 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 23 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

2.4
out of 10

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.
