Smart Money Signals — EAF

Based on 88 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added EAF 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.
🔻

Below peak — only 53% of 3.0Y high

53% of all-time peak
Only 88 funds hold EAF today versus a peak of 167 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 53% 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 — 33% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
43 fewer hedge funds hold EAF compared to a year ago (-33% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

54 buying42 selling
Last quarter: 54 funds bought or added vs 42 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~28 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 18 → 17 → 23 → 28. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

64% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 64% conviction (2yr+) ■ 11% medium ■ 25% new
56 out of 88 hedge funds have held EAF 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 +3%, value -13%

Value
-12%
Shares
+3%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -13%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

36 → 18 → 17 → 23 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 17 → 23 → 28. A growing number of institutions are discovering EAF each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 70% veterans vs 18% newcomers

■ 70% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 18% new
Entry-cohort mix of 94 holders: 66 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 17 (18%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds

43% from top-100 AUM funds
27 of 87 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in EAF. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
1.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.3/10 — 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.
